The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss disability as there was no evidence of chronic in-service symptoms, continuity of symptomatology, or a nexus between the in-service noise exposure and current hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The weight of evidence is against finding that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss disability was shown as chronic in service and did not manifest to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period; continuity of symptomatology is not established; and the disability is not otherwise related to service.
