Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability evaluation for bilateral hearing loss because the audiometric test results did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had level I hearing in both ears, which is noncompensable according to VA rating criteria.
