The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected bilateral hearing loss, as the evidence did not show that he was precluded from performing the physical and mental acts required by employment.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss did not prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation, as there was no competent and probative evidence showing that his disability would impact his ability to perform most employment situations with appropriate amplification.
