Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for right ear hearing loss based on the results of a June 2024 VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an exceptional pattern of hearing impairment, and the numeric designation from audiometric testing equated to a non-compensable rating under the applicable criteria.
