Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as it is already rated at the maximum schedular evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's tinnitus presents an exceptional disability picture such that the available schedular evaluations are inadequate.
