Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and current diagnosis support a direct link to her active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise as to whether the diagnosed recurrent tinnitus originated during active service, and VA has conceded the Veteran's in-service noise exposure.
