Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of evidence showing a current disability as defined by VA regulations.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the existence of a current disability as required under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385, which is necessary to establish a valid claim for service connection.
