Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had hearing loss that met the criteria for VA compensation purposes under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385, and he did not have such a condition during or approximate to the pendency of his claim.
