Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for bilateral hearing loss was denied. The claim for service connection for a left knee disability was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The veteran's hearing acuity showed Level I impairment bilaterally, which is noncompensable; the knee disability requires a new medical opinion to determine service connection.
