Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher (compensable) disability rating for bilateral hearing loss, as the evidence did not support a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity was no worse than Level III in both ears, and there were no exceptional patterns of hearing loss to warrant a higher rating.
