Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran due to the onset of tinnitus coinciding with his active duty service period and his report of its relation to deployment, despite a negative nexus opinion from an examiner.
