Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for left ear hearing loss based on the results of a VA audiological evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left ear hearing loss was found to be no worse than Level I hearing impairment, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the Rating Schedule.
