Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus as it is at least as likely as not attributable to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a medical opinion linking the Veteran's tinnitus to his now service-connected bilateral hearing loss, with no evidence contradicting this link.
