Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding of continuity of symptoms and conceded in-service hazardous noise exposure, outweighing the negative nexus opinion due to its reliance on a lack of in-service symptoms and delay in reporting.
