Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence does not show the condition began during active service or is related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hearing loss did not manifest during service or within one year of separation and was not causally connected to recognized in-service hazardous noise exposure.
