Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a finding that it began during active service or was related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran's diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss began during service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease because no significant threshold shift occurred during service.
