Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that there was no evidence to support a link between the condition and his time in service.
The deciding factor: The examiner opined it was less likely than not that the Veteran's hearing loss was due to his time in service, considering his noise exposure during military service and his long history of working with power tools in civilian life.
