Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss based on audiometric test results that did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
The deciding factor: The audiometric findings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable VA regulations, and there were no exceptional factors to warrant an extraschedular rating.
