Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of evidence showing the existence of a current disability at or recent to the time of filing. The claim was also remanded for further consideration regarding Meniere's disease.
The deciding factor: There was no persuasive evidence of record establishing a current disability of bilateral hearing loss, and thus service connection could not be granted on that basis. The claim for Meniere's disease was remanded for additional development.
