Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for hearing loss due to a lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis and no relationship between the claimed condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The appeal was decided based on the evidence of record, as the Veteran failed to report for a scheduled VA examination without good cause, and there is no documentation in his medical treatment records showing he meets the threshold requirements of a hearing loss disability.
