Denied
The Board denied entitlement to an initial compensable rating prior to November 8, 2019, and a rating in excess of 20 percent from November 8, 2019, to August 23, 2023, for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's hearing loss did not warrant a compensable rating prior to November 8, 2019, nor a rating in excess of 10 percent from November 8, 2019, to August 23, 2023, based on the results of VA examinations and lay statements.
