Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable initial disability rating for right ear hearing loss based on the results of a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing loss was found to be no worse than Level II, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable regulations.
