Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss because the evidence showed no worse than Level I hearing acuity in the left ear.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA audiological examination results, which were deemed reliable and valid, indicated that the veteran's left ear hearing loss was noncompensable.
