Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that there was no evidence of a link between the condition and his active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that the Veteran's tinnitus had its onset more than 30 years after separation from service, which is not supported by medical literature.
