Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence supports a causal relationship between the Veteran's hearing loss and his military noise exposure during the Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The Board accepted the Veteran's statements regarding the onset and continuity of his symptoms of hearing loss, as they were found to be competent and credible, and resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the claimant.
