Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and back disorder as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions, based on thorough reviews of the record, concluded that the current conditions were less likely than not related to in-service events or injuries.
