Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's hearing loss began during military service and has been chronic since then.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's statements regarding his exposure to noise during service to be credible and probative, and concluded that there was reasonable doubt that could be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
