Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions and an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, finding no evidence of a current disability or in-service incurrence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims as there was no indication of a diagnosis or functional impairment related to the claimed disabilities during or after service.
