Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss because the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim fails as he has not met the first element of service connection, the requirement of a current diagnosis, for the claimed bilateral hearing loss.
