Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, as there was no evidence of a current disability or that these conditions were related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence showing a current disability and the absence of a nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's military service led to the denial of both claims.
