Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability and tinnitus as the evidence did not support a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss disability or tinnitus had their onset during his active service, were manifested within one year of discharge, or were otherwise related to his active service.
