Granted
The Board granted a maximum disability rating of 100 percent for bilateral hearing loss based on the Veteran's hearing acuity in each ear at its worst, which was Level XI.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that his hearing acuity most nearly approximated Level XI in each ear throughout the appeal period, warranting a 100 percent rating under Table VII.
