Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for right ear hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing had been manifested by hearing acuity of no worse than Level I during the relevant rating review period, which does not support the assignment of a compensable rating.
