The Board granted service connection for the veteran's left and right knee disabilities but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's left knee disability and his in-service injury, as well as a secondary relationship between his right knee disability and his now service-connected left knee. However, there was no credible evidence to support a current disability for VA purposes related to bilateral hearing loss.
