Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, as there was no evidence of a current disability for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a hearing loss disability in either ear during or in temporal proximity to the review period, and the audiometric and speech recognition findings at the examinations did not reflect a right or left ear hearing loss disability as defined by 38 C.F.R. § 3.385.
