Granted
The Board granted restoration of service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the severance was improper.
The deciding factor: The grant of service connection for bilateral hearing loss was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous, as there is credible evidence of in-service acoustic trauma and ongoing symptoms since service.
