Granted
The Board finds that the Veteran has a bilateral hearing loss disability which is etiologically related to his active-duty service, and grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows the Veteran repeatedly had Maryland CNC Test scores of less than 94 percent in each ear, and both VA and private providers determined the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was etiologically related to his in-service noise exposure.
