Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left ankle condition, bilateral plantar fasciitis, right leg shin splints, left leg shin splints, tinnitus, and bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that there was no probative evidence supporting a link between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active-duty service or any in-service injury, event, or disease.
