Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right ear hearing loss, left ear hearing loss, and colon cancer as there was no evidence of a current disability meeting VA criteria.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current disability in either ear or colon cancer that was related to service, despite conceded noise exposure and gastrointestinal issues during service.
