Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's hearing loss began during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found significant noise exposure during active service and consistent reports of diminished hearing acuity, leading to a grant of service connection.
