Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss based on the results of a June 2023 VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as it showed no worse than Level I hearing acuity in both ears, which equates to a noncompensable disability rating under DC 6100.
