1Opinion of the Court

FARLEY, Judge:

This is an appeal from a September 6, 1996, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) which determined that the appellant’s claims for service connection for hearing loss; varicose veins; a back disorder other than scoliosis of the thoracolum-bar vertebrae; and shortening or lengthening of the right upper extremity were not well grounded. This appeal is timely and the Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 7252(a). For the reasons that follow, the Court will affirm the decision of the BVA.
