Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's current condition had its onset during active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be at least approximately balanced as to whether the Veteran's current tinnitus is linked to his in-service exposure to harmful noise, and the benefit of the doubt was given to the claimant.
