Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and bilateral tinnitus, finding the evidence to be in relative equipoise regarding their relationship to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supports a link between the Veteran's current disabilities and his in-service noise exposure, as well as a secondary relationship to his service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
