Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between his current hearing loss and in-service acoustic trauma.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the approximate balance of the evidence was against a causal connection between the current hearing loss and exposure to in-service acoustic trauma.
