Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding no evidence of a nexus between the Veteran's time in service and his current hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The examiner opined that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's hearing loss was due to his time in service, citing normal hearing on separation audiogram and lack of significant permanent shift in hearing thresholds.
