Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current disability of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and in-service acoustic trauma. The symptoms began during service and have been continuous since separation, meeting the criteria for presumptive service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(a).
