Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for left ear hearing loss as there was no evidence of a nexus between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions concluded that the Veteran's current left ear hearing loss was not related to noise exposure during his military service, and the Veteran lacked the medical expertise to provide an opinion on this matter.
