Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: The audiometric testing results did not indicate hearing loss for VA compensation purposes, and the Veteran's lay statements were not deemed competent to establish a link between his hearing loss and service.
