Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding a chronicity of symptomatology and a presumptive link to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's hearing loss was causally related to his military service due to its gradual decline after service and the presumption applicable to sensorineural hearing loss.
