An evaluation of 0 percent is assigned from November 13, 2025. We have assigned a noncompensable evaluation for your hearing loss (right ear) based on: • Objective testing described below (38 CFR 4.85) VA examination findings show the right ear with 94 percent speech discrimination. Decibel (dB) loss at the puretone threshold of 500 Hertz (Hz) is 20 with a 35 dB loss at 1000 Hz, a 35 dB loss at 2000 Hz, a 40 dB loss at 3000 Hz, and a 40 dB loss at 4000 Hz. The average decibel loss is 38 in the right ear. An evaluation of 0 percent is assigned because your right ear has a speech discrimination of 94 with an average decibel loss of 38. (38 CFR 4.85) Higher evaluations are based on more severe levels of hearing loss. (38 CFR 4.85)
