Granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were granted based on new and relevant evidence showing a link to noise exposure during active duty.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence, including a nexus letter from a physician assistant, established that the veteran's conditions are at least as likely as not related to service.
