Denied
The Board denied service connection for right ear hearing loss and an initial compensable evaluation for left ear hearing loss based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a hearing loss disability under VA regulations, and there was no evidence to support a compensable evaluation for the left ear hearing loss.
