Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on the Veteran's credible report of a continuity of symptomology since service and exposure to acoustic trauma.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence supported the claim, as the Veteran reported continuous symptoms since service and the February 2023 VA examination opinion was not considered probative due to its failure to account for the Veteran's reports of continuity of symptomology.
