Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that new and relevant evidence was received sufficient to readjudicate the claim. The Veteran's tinnitus is considered a symptom of his service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted based on the opinion from the 2025 VA examiner linking it to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss, despite previous negative opinions.
