Denied
The Board denied an increased (compensable) disability rating for bilateral hearing loss and service connection for dizziness as secondary to the service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of dizziness or symptoms that would qualify as a 'disability' under VA standards, and the Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for an increased rating based on its severity.
