Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the Veteran was not shown to have bilateral hearing loss for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show that the Veteran meets the criteria under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385 for VA compensation purposes, and there is no other evidence showing he has a current disability of bilateral hearing loss.
