Granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, finding that the evidence supports a direct link between these conditions and the Veteran's in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence persuasively favored findings of onset during service and causation by in-service hazardous noise exposure.
