Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, finding it did not originate in service or relate to his active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hearing tests during and after service showed normal hearing, and there was no evidence of a significant threshold shift.
