Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, hypertension, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea as there was no evidence of a current disability or that any of these conditions were caused by or incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability for VA purposes, and there was no nexus established between the claimed disabilities and the veteran's period of active service.
