Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left ear hearing loss as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during active service or are related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was considered probative and uncontroverted by any other evidence of record, leading to the denial of the claims.
