Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding it at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 private audiologist's opinion was found probative due to its basis on a review of the claims file and medical literature indicating delayed onset of tinnitus from noise exposure.
