Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for bilateral hearing loss based on the results of a September 2023 VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating as determined by the mechanical application of the rating schedule to the numeric designations assigned for hearing acuity.
