Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's right ear hearing loss, finding it less likely than not that the condition was caused by military noise exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no significant permanent shift in hearing thresholds from entrance to separation and no complaints of or treatment for decreased hearing while in service.
