Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for left ear hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability that met the criteria for a left ear hearing loss disability.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing the Veteran has a current left ear hearing loss disability for VA purposes, and his lay statements do not establish such a disability.
