Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a compensable rating for left ear sensorineural hearing loss due to an unperformed VA examination.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the maximum schedular rating being assigned for tinnitus, and the need for further evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's left ear hearing loss.
