Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a finding of in-service acoustic trauma and chronic, continuous tinnitus symptoms since service, granting service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(b) for the 'chronic' disease of tinnitus based on 'continuous' symptoms.
