Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the Veteran does not have a current disability for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including the April 2021 VA audiological examination, shows that the Veteran's auditory thresholds do not meet the criteria for a hearing loss disability under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385.
