Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there is no evidence of an in-service worsening or a nexus between the Veteran's service and his current hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's preexisting right ear hearing loss worsened during service, nor was there a nexus found between the Veteran's left ear hearing loss and his service.
