Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability, finding that the evidence did not support a link between his current condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The December 2018 VA examination and subsequent addendum opinions found no relationship between the Veteran's hearing loss and his time in service, despite acknowledging noise exposure during his MOS as an ammunition storage specialist.
