Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding a link to in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current hearing loss disability is related to in-service noise exposure, and resolved all doubt in the Veteran's favor.
