Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's tinnitus was at least as likely as not related to his hearing loss, and the onset of tinnitus was reported to be post-separation from service.
