Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's tinnitus had onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's contentions credible and determined that tinnitus is a chronic disease present during service following conceded exposure to hazardous noise, and is not clearly attributable to an intercurrent cause.
