Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on the Veteran's credible testimony and competent medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in relative balance regarding whether the Veteran's current tinnitus was incurred in service, considering his credible testimony and the absence of a clinical diagnosis shortly after service.
