Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher rating during the period on review.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination results showed Level I hearing acuity in the left ear, which corresponds to a noncompensable (0 percent) rating under the applicable criteria.
