Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus because the Veteran's condition was not shown to be chronic in service, did not manifest within the applicable presumptive period, and there is no evidence of continuity of symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing that the Veteran's tinnitus was related to an in-service injury or disease.
