Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding a nexus between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record demonstrates the criteria for service connection for bilateral hearing loss have been met based on the Veteran's reported onset during service and persistent symptoms since separation from service.
