Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a respiratory condition, otitis externa, gastroenteritis, a sleeping disorder, and a left leg injury as the evidence did not support current diagnoses of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence was against finding the Veteran had a currently diagnosed condition at any point during the appeal period for all claims.
