Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding it at least as likely as not that the Veteran's current tinnitus was incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran reported onset of tinnitus coincident with his in-service hazardous noise exposure and has been consistent regarding the rough time frame of the onset. The Board finds these statements credible and grants service connection with resolution of reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
