Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for right ear hearing loss, and remanded claims for left ear hearing loss and tinnitus due to errors in the initial decision.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for a current disability of right ear hearing loss as defined by VA regulations. For the other issues, there was no sufficient nexus established between the Veteran's military service and his claimed conditions.
