Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability during the pendency of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion concluded that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was less likely than not caused by or a result of an event in military service, and there was no evidence of tinnitus symptoms recent to or during the pendency of the appeal.
