Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability, as there was no current diagnosis of a hearing loss disability. The claims for service connection for right shoulder, left shoulder, and left foot disabilities were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability for VA compensation purposes or a nexus between the claimed in-service disease or injury and the current disability.
