Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as there was no evidence of a medical nexus between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current tinnitus, nor any continuity of symptomatology since service.
The deciding factor: The lack of medical evidence establishing a link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current tinnitus led to the denial of the claim.
