Denied
The Board denied the restoration of a 70 percent rating for bilateral hearing loss disability from July 1, 2024, as there was sustained material improvement in the symptoms attributable to the disability and improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
The deciding factor: The reduction of the 70 percent rating assigned to the service-connected bilateral hearing loss disability in April 2024 was proper due to sustained material improvement in the symptoms and improved ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
