Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss based on the Veteran's in-service symptoms and continuity of those symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran had experienced symptoms of both conditions during his active service, and there was no need for a medical nexus opinion as the evidence supported a direct link to service.
