The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including headaches, tinnitus, cervical degenerative disc disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and others, as there was no evidence of an in-service incurrence or aggravation of a disease or injury relating to these disabilities.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims that his current conditions were related to service, including being caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
