Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and recurrent tinnitus, finding that the evidence does not support a link between these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no evidence linking the Veteran's hearing loss or tinnitus to his in-service noise exposure, citing the absence of relevant medical records and the lack of symptoms during service.
