Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of tinnitus has been granted. The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus was incurred during active service and has persisted since then.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the approximate balance of the evidence weighs in favor of the Veteran based on his service, MOS, lay statements regarding symptoms of tinnitus, competence to self-diagnose tinnitus, and misinterpretation of symptomatology by the examiner.
