Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss based on the results of an April 12, 2024, VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating as the Veteran's hearing acuity was only Level IV in the right ear and Level I in the left ear, corresponding to a 0 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 6100.
