Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) Board decisions

The Veteran's tinnitus was granted service connection as it had onset within one year of separation from active service.

The Board has granted the Veteran's petition to reopen his previously denied claim for service connection for tinnitus and found that it is at least as likely as not related to in-service noise exposure. The Veteran now has service connection for tinnitus.

The Veteran's tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss are granted, but the service connection for hearing loss is remanded due to insufficient evidence.

The Veteran's tinnitus is granted service connection, and his ulcerative colitis/diverticulitis is denied. The right inguinal hernia claim is remanded for further development.

The Veteran's bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, ischemic heart disease, and type II diabetes mellitus are all granted as service-connected.

The Board has granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current hearing loss and tinnitus are related to service. The Veteran reported noise exposure during his military service.

The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for tinnitus, ischemic heart disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and an acquired psychiatric disorder due to potential exposure to herbicide agents during service.,Service connection is denied for all four conditions as there is no evidence of a current disability or a link between any diagnosed condition and service.

The Board has dismissed all issues of service connection and entitlement to TDIU as the Veteran passed away before a decision could be made.
