Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and higher initial ratings for psychiatric, left shoulder, right hand tremors, left hand tremors, and allergic rhinitis disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions met the criteria to be considered a disability for which service connection could be established.
