The Board granted service connection for a fungal disability and a gynecological condition, but denied service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability and varicose veins.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim for a bilateral hearing loss disability due to lack of current impairment. However, there was sufficient evidence to establish that the Veteran had tinea pedis in service with continuous symptoms since then. For the gynecological condition, herpes simplex 2 was found to be related to service.
