Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher evaluation of bilateral hearing loss was denied. The claims for service connection for PTSD and TDIU were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision on the hearing loss claim was based on the mechanical application of the rating schedule to the numeric designations assigned after audiometric evaluations.
