Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss was rated based on the results of VA and private audiometric tests, which showed no worse than Level II hearing loss in both ears, warranting only a 0 percent rating under the applicable criteria.
