Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date prior to December 14, 2020, for the grant of service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that an earlier effective date is warranted as there was no formal or informal claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss prior to December 14, 2020.
