Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability, left knee disability, and right knee disability as the evidence did not support a finding of current disabilities or in-service incurrence.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against the claims due to lack of credible evidence supporting an in-service injury or chronic disability, and no current diagnosis for bilateral hearing loss under VA criteria.
