Dismissed
The appeal for service connection claim for right ear hearing loss and for a compensable rating claim for left ear hearing loss was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file or submit a Notice of Disagreement (NOD), Higher Level Review (HLR), or a Supplemental Claim within one year of the December 2016 rating decision, hence, the decisions became final.
