Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a current disability under VA regulations.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's currently claimed bilateral hearing loss does not meet the definition of a hearing loss disability as required by 38 C.F.R. § 3.385, and therefore service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability cannot be granted.
