The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor that the condition manifested during service and has been continuous since service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's current hearing loss disability manifested during service and has been continuous since service. Resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the Board finds service connection for bilateral hearing loss is granted.
