Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's hearing loss and his period of active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's statements credible and probative in establishing a nexus to his service, given no other non-military noise exposure was established and the onset of symptoms was consistent with his service.
