Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on a credible report of onset during military service and continuity of symptoms since discharge.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and his in-service noise exposure based on credible lay statements and resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
