Denied
The Board denied the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus as there was no evidence to support a nexus between the Veteran's current conditions and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence indicated that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were not related to his active service, including due to lack of in-service symptoms or treatment for these conditions.
