The Board granted service connection for left ear hearing loss and denied it for right ear hearing loss, bladder infection, and tubal ligation.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is in approximate balance that the Veteran's left ear hearing loss is related to her in-service noise exposure. However, there was no current diagnosis of recurrent bladder infections or UTIs at any point during the appeal period, and the Veteran withdrew her claim for service connection for tubal ligation.
