Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable evaluation for right ear hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing loss was determined to be Level I impairment based on audiometric testing, which does not warrant a compensable disability rating under VA regulations.
