Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus, finding that there was no persuasive evidence linking her condition to her military service.
The deciding factor: The medical literature does not support a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is related to noise exposure during her period of active duty service, which occurred approximately ten years prior to her reported onset of tinnitus.
