Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss and a rating in excess of 30% for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's symptoms were severe enough to warrant a higher rating under VA's criteria for evaluating hearing loss and PTSD.
