Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a lumbar spine disability and cervical spine disability was dismissed, while the appeal for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was granted.
The deciding factor: Service connection for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was granted after resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran due to evidence supporting a relationship between his current condition and in-service noise exposure.
