Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss has been granted. The evidence was in approximate balance, and the benefit of the doubt was given to the veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's credible testimony about his noise exposure in service, coupled with the presumption of service connection for organic diseases of the nervous system, brought the evidence into a state of approximate balance.
