Denied
The Board denied service connection for both bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, finding no evidence of in-service incurrence or aggravation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Appellant's statements about the onset of his conditions were not credible and that there was no significant shift in puretone thresholds to indicate a delayed onset of hearing loss.
