Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition and denied the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: There is no current diagnosis of hearing loss in either ear, and the Veteran does not have a current disability that began during service or is at least as likely as not related to an in-service injury.
