Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence did not support a relationship between the hearing loss and active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on medical opinions and audiology examinations showing no significant threshold shift in hearing degradation during or after service.
