Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) Board decisions

The Board has granted service connection for tinnitus and an asbestos-related respiratory disability, finding that the Veteran's current conditions are at least as likely as not related to his in-service exposure. The specific nature of any post-service asbestos exposure is unclear.

The Veteran's tinnitus is related to his active military service and the Board has granted service connection for this condition.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded to schedule a video conference hearing at the RO for issues related to service connection for multiple sclerosis, an undiagnosed illness, diabetes mellitus, tinnitus, and bilateral hearing loss.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and compensable ratings were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support higher evaluations for hearing loss, tinnitus, malaria, or tonsillitis.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to his withdrawal of the claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus. The earlier effective date claims are denied as there is no evidence showing that the Veteran filed previous claims prior to May 22, 2006.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss are etiologically related to his military service, and therefore grants service connection for both conditions.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for carpal tunnel right wrist, bilateral hearing loss, and bilateral tinnitus were denied as there is no evidence of a current disability or continuity of symptomatology since service.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were denied as there is no evidence of current disability.

The Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus are found to be related to service, with the Board granting service connection for both conditions.

The Veteran's degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine is rated at 20 percent, and bilateral tinnitus has been granted service connection. Service connection for erectile dysfunction and a psychiatric disorder (including PTSD and depression) have also been established.

The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be related to his military service. Service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability is remanded due to the need for additional examination and evidence.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were incurred in service, with all doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran. The decision grants service connection for these conditions.

The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus is not related to his military service and denied his claim for service connection.
