Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss based on the audiometric findings that did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence, including VA examination results and lay statements, did not support a finding of a disability level warranting a compensable rating under the applicable rating criteria.
