Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss based on in-service hazardous noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The September 2022 medical opinion provided a more probative assessment of the relationship between the Veteran's hearing loss and in-service noise exposure, outweighing the January 2023 negative opinion.
