Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral hearing loss based on the audiometric evaluations and applicable rating criteria.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected BHL due to the audiometric results corresponding to Level I and XI hearing acuity, respectively, which align with the assigned 10 percent rating under the rating schedule.
