Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on a presumptive basis due to the Veteran's continuous symptoms since service and his exposure to noise during military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus may be presumed to have been incurred in service as it started during service, with continuity of symptomatology after service, and he was exposed to noise during his military service.
