Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability meeting VA criteria during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examination found normal hearing bilaterally, and there was no evidence of a positive threshold shift in hearing acuity or other related residuals that would support service connection for bilateral hearing loss under VA regulations.
