Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that there was no evidence of a chronic disability in service or within the applicable presumptive period and no credible evidence establishing continuity of symptomatology since service.
The deciding factor: The December 2021 VA examiner determined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was less likely than not caused by or a result of an event in service, as there was no significant threshold shift despite conceded inservice noise exposure.
