Denied
The Board denied the appeal for service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability, finding that the evidence does not support a nexus between the current condition and in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion found no nexus between the post-service bilateral hearing loss disability and service due to normal hearing two years after discharge and significant post-service noise exposure.
