Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as the evidence does not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The negative nexus opinions from VA examiners, combined with the lack of in-service or immediate post-service onset of tinnitus, led to the denial of the claim.
