Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability for VA purposes.
The deciding factor: The audiological test results did not meet the criteria for impaired hearing under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385, and the chiropractor’s opinion was found to be uncredible due to lack of proper credentials.
