Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for hearing loss based on the results of multiple VA examinations that showed his hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hearing loss, as measured by Puretone audiometry tests and speech discrimination scores, did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable rating schedule.
