Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for right ear hearing loss and remanded the claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, sleep apnea, and COPD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while the other claims required further development due to potential toxic exposure risk activities (TERA).
