Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no evidence of a current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and no medical nexus between the current hearing loss and active service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support a finding of both a current hearing loss disability and a medical nexus to active service due to lack of evidence of a diagnosis within one year of separation from service and no continuity of symptomatology.
