Granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear hearing loss, finding that the disability originated during active service and was related to in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's in-service noise exposure as an airborne radar intercept officer and the medical opinions supporting a link between his current hearing loss and military service.
