Denied
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for tinnitus was denied because the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported tinnitus symptoms are fully contemplated by the rating criteria, and he is already receiving the maximum rating offered under the rating criteria.
