Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for a rating higher than 30 percent for bilateral hearing loss. The decision was based on audiometric evidence that did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Board is bound by law to apply VA's rating schedule based on the Veteran's audiometry results, which did not meet the criteria for an increased rating.
