Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, hypertension, a right hip disability, and sleep apnea as there was no evidence to support a finding that these conditions were related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions had their onset in or are otherwise related to the veteran's active service.
