Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for compensable ratings for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss disability due to his Other than Honorable discharge.
The deciding factor: The character of the appellant's discharge is a bar to VA compensation benefits, as there has been no upgrade to the character of his discharge by a discharge review board.
