Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the current disability and in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' findings and opinions were highly probative regarding the causal relationship between the Veteran's current tinnitus and his active duty, as they considered an accurate history and provided detailed rationales based on a review of the Veteran's records and examinations.
