Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on a presumption of chronicity and continuity of symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: Tinnitus is recognized as a chronic disease under VA regulations, and the Veteran reported continuous symptoms since service, which was sufficient to grant service connection on a presumptive basis.
