Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that it is less likely as not that there is a reasonable nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and military noise exposure due to the remote onset of symptoms in relation to reported military noise exposure.
