The Board granted service connection for a right ear hearing loss disability and denied service connection for right knee, left knee, cervical spine, right shoulder, right ankle, left ankle, and left hip disorders.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's right ear hearing loss was incurred in service, while there was no current diagnosis of a right or left knee disorder, cervical spine disorder, right shoulder disorder, right ankle disorder, left ankle disorder, or left hip disorder that were incurred in or resulted from service.
