Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of hearing loss for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 audiogram did not show an auditory threshold of 40 dB in any of the frequencies, nor was there any auditory threshold of at least 26 dB in three of the frequencies, thus the Veteran does not have hearing loss for VA purposes.
