Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability. The claims for tinnitus and asthma were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current hearing loss disability, and the VA examination opinions for tinnitus and asthma were found to be inadequate due to omissions in their analysis.
