Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability with auditory processing disorder as the Veteran did not have a current disability within the meaning of VA regulations.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA Hearing Loss Examination showed that the Veteran's auditory threshold levels and speech recognition scores did not meet the criteria for a hearing loss disability under VA regulations, and there was no evidence of an auditory processing disorder.
