Granted
The Veteran's appeal for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus was granted. The Board found that the Veteran's conditions are related to acoustic trauma sustained during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran credible in reporting his symptoms and progression, and the lay evidence weighed heavily in favor of the claim.
