Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a throat condition, gastrointestinal condition, psychiatric disorder, back condition, elbow conditions, foot pain, leg conditions, migraine headaches, penile condition, and obstructive sleep apnea. The Board also denied a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss.
