Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher disability rating based on the results of audiometric testing.
The deciding factor: The numeric designations from the audiometric test results equated to a 0 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 6100, and no exceptional pattern of hearing impairment was shown.
