Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss based on audiometric test results that did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examination and speech recognition tests did not show enough impairment to warrant a compensable rating under the applicable criteria.
