Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an increased rating for left ear hearing loss and tinnitus, and remanded the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss or an increase in the 10 percent rating for tinnitus. The Board also found that the Veteran should be provided another opportunity to attend a VA examination regarding his claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II.
