Granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss due to in-service combat noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing loss was found to be related to his in-service combat noise exposure, as conceded by the AOJ and supported by medical evidence of a threshold shift in service.
