The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for tinnitus and otitis media with a healed perforated eardrum and vertigo, as the maximum schedular evaluations were already in place.
The case is remanded for additional development to ensure compliance with the duty to notify and assist under the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000.
The veteran's nasopharyngeal cancer, left ear hearing loss and vertigo were not related to his active service.
