Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 20 percent rating for right ear hearing loss from August 29, 2017, but the claim for an increased rating to more than 20 percent from September 1, 2023, was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hearing loss did not warrant a rating in excess of 20 percent based on the audiometric test results and the application of the rating criteria.
