Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to his in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current tinnitus based on the Veteran's lay statements and the lack of evidence contradicting this claim.
