Denied
The appeal was denied for various claims, including entitlement to a higher rating and earlier effective dates for service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for increased ratings or earlier effective dates due to insufficient audiometric test results and lack of exceptional hearing impairment patterns.
