Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and no causal relationship between the claimed conditions and military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's hearing loss had its onset during service or manifested to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period; nor was there continuity of symptomatology or a nexus to service based on hazardous noise exposure.
