Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable rating for right ear hearing loss because the evidence showed that the hearing loss was noncompensable.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing loss has been manifested by hearing acuity of no worse than Level VIII, which results in a noncompensable rating when evaluated with a hearing acuity of Level I assigned for his nonservice-connected left ear hearing loss.
