The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for service connection for prostate cancer due to potential toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss, as the results of the July 2024 VA examination audiometric test showed Level I hearing impairment bilaterally. The Board also found an inadequate VA medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's claimed prostate cancer.
