Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss based on the Veteran's credible lay statements and probative medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss is related to service, considering the conceded in-service noise exposure and credible lay evidence of in-service onset and continuity of symptoms.
