Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis of hearing loss that meets VA criteria.
The deciding factor: The February 2020 VA examination found no current disability as defined by VA criteria, and the Veteran is not competent to diagnose himself with hearing loss.
