Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasively against finding that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus first manifested in service or to a compensable degree within one year of separation or that they are otherwise due to his active service.
