Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether it had its onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 and April 2025 medical opinions were deemed more probative due to their thorough review of the claims file and consideration of the Veteran's statements, leading to a conclusion that tinnitus is related to in-service noise exposure.
