Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus Type II, hypertension, and coronary artery disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. The claims for service connection were remanded due to inadequate medical opinions.
