Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss because the objective medical evidence did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the mechanical application of rating criteria to the results of specified audiometric studies, which showed the veteran's hearing loss did not rise to the level of a compensable rating.
