Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss, effective April 17, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hearing loss warranted a higher rating based on the mechanical application of the rating criteria to audiometric test results.
