Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's current bilateral tinnitus disability is attributable to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a causal connection between the in-service noise exposure and the Veteran's tinnitus based on his competent lay statements and the absence of evidence refuting this claim.
