Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner determined that there was no evidence of hearing loss or tinnitus that could be attributed to the Veteran's military service, and the audiogram results did not demonstrate hearing loss for VA purposes.
