The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for hearing loss due to inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent and credible reports of in-service noise exposure and onset of symptoms, along with a high probability of noise exposure based on his MOS, supported the grant of service connection for tinnitus. The hearing loss claim was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to consider all evidence.
