Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the remaining claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss, and there was no evidence to suggest a nexus between any claimed condition and his military service.
