Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss and remanded the issue of service connection for right foot disability due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA examination results did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while the May 2021 medical examiner's opinion was found to be inadequate and required further development.
