The Board denied service connection for left ear hearing loss and denied increased ratings for tinnitus, right knee joint osteoarthritis with meniscal tear, right knee limitation of extension, and right knee limitation of flexion.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had left ear hearing loss at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim. The Board also found that the criteria for increased ratings were not met for tinnitus, right knee joint osteoarthritis with meniscal tear, right knee limitation of extension, and right knee limitation of flexion.
