Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for tinnitus was granted. The Board found that the veteran's tinnitus is related to acoustic trauma sustained during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran credible in reporting that his tinnitus began during active service and has continued since, weighing heavily in favor of the claim.
