Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a finding that the disability had its onset during active duty or manifested to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighed against finding that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was related to his in-service noise exposure, and there was no credible evidence of continuity of symptoms since service separation.
