Entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss is denied.

Board reasoning

The Board finds the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating because the September 2021 VA examination shows Level I hearing in both ears, which corresponds to a 0% rating under the rating schedule. The psychiatric claim is remanded to verify in-service stressors and obtain new examinations and medical opinions to determine etiology and potential secondary relationships to service-connected disabilities.
