Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus as the probative medical evidence did not show a nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were highly probative, indicating that the Veteran's tinnitus was less likely than not caused by or related to military noise exposure during service.
