Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding a nexus to in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be at least in equipoise, and the standard of certainty under VA law is not absolute certainty; thus, with resolution of all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, service connection was warranted.
