Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on conceded noise exposure during military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current hearing loss and tinnitus are related to his in-service noise exposure, thus the Board resolved any doubt in the Veteran's favor.
