Denied
The Board denied an increased, compensable disability rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss was found to be no greater than Level I impairment in both ears, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under VA regulations.
