Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for right ear hearing loss was granted, and the rating for bilateral hearing loss was increased to 50 percent effective July 11, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Board found a link between the Veteran's right ear hearing loss and in-service noise exposure, granting service connection. For the period from November 23, 2011, to July 11, 2024, a rating of 0 percent was granted for bilateral hearing loss, but since July 11, 2024, a 50 percent rating was granted.
