Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for left wrist fracture and bilateral hearing loss, stating that the criteria for these ratings were not met.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show ankylosis or functional ankylosis for the left wrist, and the hearing tests did not support a compensable rating.
