Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability due to the lack of current evidence supporting a diagnosis and the Veteran's failure to appear for a scheduled VA examination.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the invalid audiometric test results from an earlier examination and the Veteran's failure to attend a subsequent examination without good cause.
