Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 0 percent for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss disability as the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA examination results showed an average puretone threshold that did not warrant a compensable rating under the applicable VA rating schedule.
