Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on his in-service harmful noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The treating audiologist provided a positive nexus opinion, and the Board resolved the benefit of the doubt in the Veteran's favor given the conflicting evidence.
