Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, based on an accurate medical history and supported by sufficient rationale, concluded that the Veteran's tinnitus was less likely than not related to his military service, including any in-service noise exposure.
