Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left ear hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability in the right ear, and insufficient evidence linking the left ear hearing loss to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that it was less likely than not that the appellant's left ear hearing loss was caused by or the result of an event in service. There was no evidence of a current disability in the right ear during the pendency or proximate to the filing of his claim.
