Granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss disability and tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's conditions had their onset during his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's current conditions and his in-service noise exposure, despite initial high-frequency hearing loss at entrance due to sound presumption rules applying.
