Granted
The veteran's service connection for hearing loss in the right ear has been granted based on a medical nexus established between military noise exposure and the current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: A January 2022 private medical opinion indicated a medical nexus, which was sufficiently persuasive to grant service connection.
