Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the condition is a medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illness with an undetermined etiology.
The deciding factor: The etiology of the Veteran's tinnitus remains unexplained despite exposure to noise levels during service, and thus service connection as a MUCMI is appropriate.
