The Board has found that the Veteran does not have a current disability for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or bilateral foot condition.,Further examination is needed to determine if the Veteran's right shoulder disability and acquired psychiatric disorder are related to her service.
