Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied, but the veteran was granted TDIU from April 1, 2014, until June 24, 2016.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support functional impairment warranting a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, but the veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing and following substantially gainful employment during the specified period.
