Denied
The Board denied service connection for traumatic brain injury and earaches as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis or a link to active service.
The deciding factor: The available medical evidence did not show a current diagnosis of TBI or any chronic disability related to ear pain, and there was no in-service incurrence or aggravation of these conditions.
