Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's current condition is a result of noise exposure during his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a medical nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and in-service noise exposure based on the Veteran's lay statements and the lack of evidence against his credibility.
