Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation of bilateral hearing loss because the evidence showed that his hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity was not shown to be greater than Level IV in his left ear and Level II in his right ear, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation.
