Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence supports a relationship between the Veteran's current disability and his acoustic trauma in service.
The deciding factor: The April 2014 and July 2023 medical opinions are based on examinations of the Veteran, a review of his treatment records, and consideration of his reported history, and are therefore entitled to some probative weight.
