Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and service connection for dementia, both directly and as secondary to stroke.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record persuasively weighs against the claim of entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and there is no causal relationship between the present disability and the disease or injury incurred or aggravated during service for dementia.
