Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss and remanded increased ratings for right and left knee osteoarthritis, painful flexion.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the Veteran's left ear hearing loss due to non-compensable levels of hearing impairment in both ears. The Board also found that the prior VA examinations were inadequate and remanded for further development.
