Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied. The claim for service connection for the right knee condition was granted, while the claim for the left knee condition was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on bilateral hearing loss was based on audiometric evaluations showing noncompensable levels of hearing acuity.
