Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus and left ear hearing loss, finding no evidence of current disability or a link to the Veteran's period of active service.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA examination reports found that the Veteran does not have tinnitus and his current left ear hearing loss is unrelated to his period of active service due to lack of significant auditory damage during service.
