Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examination found no relationship between the Veteran's tinnitus and his military noise exposure, citing lack of in-service or post-service complaints and medical literature on the subject.
