Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine and muscle tension headaches, including as secondary to bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, otitis media, and spine arthritis.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's migraines or muscle tension headaches were incurred in or aggravated by active service or caused or worsened by his service-connected conditions.
