Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that the preponderance of the evidence is against the claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence linking the Veteran's tinnitus to his military service, citing a lack of in-service symptoms and an inconsistent report of when the condition began.
