Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no sufficient evidence of hearing loss for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 and June 2023 VA examinations showed that the Veteran does not have an auditory threshold in any of the frequencies of 40 decibels or greater, and speech recognition scores using the Maryland CNC Test are greater than 94 percent.
