Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than October 30, 2023, for the award of service connection for bilateral hearing loss and also denied a compensable evaluation for the same condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was not timely filed prior to October 30, 2023, and his hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability evaluation.
