Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a back disability, and right and left knee disabilities due to the lack of evidence supporting a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran had current disabilities related to his claimed conditions during or as a result of his military service, thus denying the claims on the merits.
