Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and an ear condition, claimed as ear infection, due to a lack of evidence showing current disabilities meeting VA criteria.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence did not show the Veteran had hearing loss or an ear condition that met the criteria for a disability under VA regulations.
