Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for sinusitis, hearing loss, and tinnitus due to a lack of evidence showing current disabilities or a nexus between these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The negative nexus opinions provided by the VA examiner, along with the absence of relevant in-service or post-service medical evidence, led to the denial of the claims.
