Denied
The Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied because the evidence did not meet the criteria for such a rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity was evaluated as Level II in both ears, which does not qualify for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 6100.
