Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss based on a current diagnosis and evidence of in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner found that the Veteran's right and left ear hearing loss were more likely than not caused by military noise exposure, and the Veteran reported continuity of symptoms since service.
