Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as the evidence did not support a finding that it was related to active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no credible evidence of continuous symptoms since service and concluded that the Veteran's hearing loss was more likely due to normal aging rather than noise exposure during service.
