Granted
The Board granted service connection for hearing loss, finding that the Veteran's current disability is related to his in-service hazardous noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The June 2016 VA examiner provided a positive medical opinion linking the Veteran's hearing loss to his military service, and there was no competing evidence to contradict this conclusion.
