Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher rating for his bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence did not support an increase in disability from 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including audiometric test results and the Veteran's testimony, did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent under the applicable rating schedule.
