Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's right ear hearing loss, stating that the current hearing loss is not related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of a permanent positive threshold shift in hearing thresholds from entrance to separation and noted the absence of any complaints of hearing loss during active duty.
