Denied
The Board denied service connection for right ear hearing loss and an initial compensable disability rating for left ear hearing loss due to insufficient evidence of a current disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish the presence of a current right ear hearing loss disability, and the Veteran's left ear hearing loss was found to be at Level I impairment, warranting a noncompensable rating.
