Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and dismissed the appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a hearing loss disability under VA regulations, and there was no evidence of unemployability related to his service-connected prostate cancer.
