Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as the maximum schedular rating has been assigned.
The deciding factor: There is no legal basis for assigning a higher rating for tinnitus since the maximum schedular rating of 10 percent has already been granted.
