Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss based on the audiometric findings of the VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss does not warrant a compensable rating as the audiometric findings do not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under the rating schedule.
