Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss was rated based on the results of an audiological evaluation, which showed no worse than Level VI impairment in the left ear and level I impairment in the right ear, not warranting a compensable rating.
