The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, specifically bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, render him unable to obtain or maintain a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and recurrent tinnitus significantly impair his ability to communicate effectively and concentrate on job tasks, making it difficult for him to perform even sedentary labor.
