Denied

The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss both before and after August 11, 2021.

The deciding factor: The objective VA examination reports did not support an assignment of a compensable rating prior to August 11, 2021, or a rating in excess of 10 percent from August 11, 2021.
