Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence was new and relevant, and that there was a credible report of continuity of symptomatology since active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence to be in approximate balance, with favorable private opinions and the Veteran's credible lay report of continuity of tinnitus symptoms outweighing unfavorable VA nexus opinions.
