Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected bilateral hearing loss. The decision was based on audiological examination results showing noncompensable hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran cancelled his scheduled VA examination, and the evidence of record showed a noncompensable level of hearing loss.
