Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence is in at least approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's tinnitus is related to his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was considered evenly balanced, and the benefit of the doubt doctrine was applied in favor of the Veteran.
