Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for increased ratings for bilateral hearing loss were partially granted, with a 10 percent rating from September 10, 2018, to February 9, 2023, and a 20 percent rating from February 10, 2023. Prior to September 10, 2018, the claim was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of hearing loss as measured by audiometric tests, with an exceptional pattern of hearing impairment in one ear affecting the rating determination.
