Denied
The Board denied service connection for hearing loss in the left ear because the evidence did not show that the Veteran's hearing meets VA's definition of a disability due to impaired hearing.
The deciding factor: The evidentiary record does not show the presence of hearing loss in the left ear for VA purposes.
