Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an increased rating greater than 10 percent for bilateral hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examination results showed that the Veteran's hearing loss was at worst level I in both ears, which warranted only a noncompensable rating under the applicable criteria.
