Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of bilateral hearing loss disability is granted. The decision is based on evidence showing the onset of the condition during active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss disability had its onset during service, supported by a private medical opinion and the Veteran's report of in-service noise exposure.
