Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on the Veteran's statements and evidence of noise exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran credibly asserted that his tinnitus began during service and has continued since, and the Board found this credible with the benefit-of-the-doubt applying.
