Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's right ear hearing loss based on the mechanical application of the rating schedule to the numeric designations resulting from audiometric testing.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a compensable disability rating as the Veteran's right ear hearing loss was evaluated at Roman numeral III and VI, which corresponded to noncompensable ratings under the applicable criteria.
