Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding a nexus to noise exposure during active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran was exposed to hazardous noise during his active-duty military service, and he is competent to report symptoms of tinnitus. Resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the Board finds that the current tinnitus is related to the in-service noise exposure.
