Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for tinnitus, service connection for bilateral hearing loss, and service connection for right and left shoulder disorders. The claim for a right knee disorder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability for VA purposes or a nexus to service for the claimed conditions.
