Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's tinnitus had its onset during active service and was related to his in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The private doctor's medical opinion, coupled with the Veteran's competent and credible statements regarding the onset of his symptoms, established a nexus between the Veteran's diagnosed tinnitus and his active service.
