Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus, as the maximum schedular rating has already been assigned.
The deciding factor: Given that the Veteran has already been assigned the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus under Diagnostic Code 6260, a higher schedular rating is not available.
