Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for hearing loss disability, as the evidence did not support a higher evaluation based on the results of an April 2021 VA audiology examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity was no worse than Level III in the right ear and Level II in the left ear, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable rating schedule.
