DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus as there was no evidence of a causal relationship between the current disabilities and in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions found that the Veteran's hearing loss and tinnitus were not causally related to his military service, including exposures at Camp Lejeune.
