Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on a positive nexus opinion from a private medical provider and evidence of continuity of symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The Board found the July 2023 private tinnitus medical opinion to be adequate, as it provided a definitive opinion supported by a detailed rationale which directly contemplates the Veteran's reported symptoms during or close to service, the continuing diagnoses, and the current tinnitus symptomology.
