Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current disability was related to his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The lack of in-service complaints, post-service complaints, findings, diagnosis, or treatment, and the fact that the claimed disability was not reported until 29 years after separation supported the finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is not related to service.
