Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus as there is no evidence of a current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and no causal relationship between the current disability and the veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The lack of a current diagnosis of tinnitus and the absence of competent medical evidence linking any symptoms to the veteran's military service led to the denial of the claim.
