Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, on a secondary basis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the current disabilities and the Veteran's active-duty service, specifically his exposure to hazardous noise as a Field Artillery member.
