Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding a nexus to noise exposure during the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion submitted by the Veteran in September 2023 was found to be more probative than the VA examination report due to its accurate facts and clear conclusions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's tinnitus.
