Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an increased rating or extraschedular rating for tinnitus, stating that the evidence did not support a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is already receiving the maximum schedular rating of 10 percent for tinnitus and has not shown marked interference with employment or frequent hospitalization.
