Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, stating that the evidence did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. The veteran's hearing acuity was rated as Level I in both ears.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the results of a June 2023 VA examination which showed the veteran's hearing acuity was no worse than Level I in both ears, and thus did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
