Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a rating greater than 0 percent prior to September 6, 2022, and greater than 10 percent thereafter, for bilateral hearing loss due to an unclear audiogram result.
The deciding factor: Clarification of the Maryland CNC word recognition scores in the April 2022 non-VA audiogram is needed to properly rate the Veteran's hearing loss disability throughout the appeal period.
