Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, and remanded the claims for erectile dysfunction and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate a current disability of bilateral hearing loss under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385, and there was no sufficient evidence to establish a link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his claimed conditions.
