Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability and that the symptoms reported did not meet the medical criteria for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against a finding of a current disability. The audiologist opined that the Veteran's reported symptoms do not meet what is accepted medical criteria for tinnitus.
