Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was warranted due to the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding onset and persistence of tinnitus, and the chronic nature of the condition as an organic disease of the nervous system.
