Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's tinnitus was caused by or a result of his military noise exposure, as the onset occurred well after discharge from the Army.
