Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for bilateral hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had no worse than Level I hearing loss in both ears during the appeal period, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under the rating schedule.
