The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, right ankle tendonitis, scoliosis of the lumbar spine, and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy. Service connection was denied for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's sinusitis, right ankle tendonitis, scoliosis of the lumbar spine, and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy were incurred during her period of active service. The Board finds that the evidence is not sufficient to establish a current disability for bilateral hearing loss.
