Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, stating that it was not shown as chronic in service and did not manifest to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss is not at least as likely as not caused by or a result of an event in military service.
