Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a brain or ear tumor condition, including vestibular schwannoma, and left ear hearing loss as there was no persuasive evidence of a nexus between these conditions and active duty.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions provided did not support a link between the Veteran's claimed conditions and their military service, and the evidence did not meet the criteria for presumptive service connection.
