Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss and denied a compensable evaluation for bilateral ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's reports of noise exposure during service, while a compensable rating was not met due to the level of hearing impairment being noncompensable according to VA criteria.
