Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that it did not originate in service and was not otherwise etiologically related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including audiometric testing results from service and post-service examinations, as well as medical opinions, did not support a finding that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was related to his military service.
