Granted
The Board granted service connection for sensorineural hearing loss of the right ear, finding that it was related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a positive nexus between the Veteran's current hearing loss and his in-service noise exposure, despite an initial negative opinion from the VA examiner.
