The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including right and left shoulder pain, nephrolithiasis, bilateral hearing loss, obstructive sleep apnea, cervical spine degenerative disc disease, and upper extremity radiculopathy. The claims were not granted.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran had any of these conditions during or approximate to the pendency of his claim.
