Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as the evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the disability and an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's tinnitus was less likely than not caused by or a result of conceded noise exposure, and there was no other medical opinion to contradict this finding.
