Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence is at least in equipoise and cannot be reasonably disassociated from the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the totality of the evidence, including the Veteran's documented in-service duties and asserted noise exposure, findings of bilateral hearing loss under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385 during the appeal period, and a favorable private medical opinion.
