Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence did not show a significant threshold shift in hearing during service or that the pre-existing right ear hearing loss was aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The competent medical evidence of record does not show a significant threshold shift in hearing during service.
