Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus because the condition did not manifest within the applicable presumptive period and there is no evidence linking it to in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus did not manifest to a compensable degree within one year of discharge, and there is no evidence of continuity of symptomatology or a causal relationship to an in-service event.
