The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and established a noncompensable evaluation for cervical dysplasia, molluscum contagiosum, residuals of excision of pilar cyst from the scalp, and diabetes mellitus. The claim for an initial disability evaluation in excess of 10 percent for tendonitis of the right shoulder was also denied.

The deciding factor: The veteran's bilateral hearing loss did not meet VA criteria for service connection due to lack of evidence during active service or at any time thereafter. For the right shoulder, the Board found no objective findings of limitation of motion and concluded that a compensable evaluation is not warranted based on current symptoms alone.
