Denied
The Board denied service connection for left ear hearing loss as the Veteran does not have a current disability that meets the definition of a disability for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence showing the Veteran has a hearing loss disability for VA compensation purposes under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385 during the course of the claim.
