Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus as the evidence did not support a link between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence weighed against the claims, with no credible evidence of onset within one year of discharge or continuity of symptoms since service. The December 2023 VA examination findings were highly probative in this determination.
