Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as it is not related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a medical nexus between the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss and in-service hazardous noise exposure or toxic exposure risk activity (TERA).
