Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected left ear hearing loss, rated together with non-service-connected right ear hearing loss, is granted a 100 percent evaluation from February 13, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left ear hearing loss meets the criteria for a 100 percent evaluation due to an exceptional pattern of hearing impairment, and his right ear hearing loss is considered as if service-connected under 38 C.F.R. § 3.383(a)(3).
