Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that there was no evidence linking the condition to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus was incurred in or caused by service due to the lack of medical evidence supporting a link between the Veteran's reported symptoms and his military noise exposure.
