Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss has been granted. The evidence was found to be in equipoise, meaning it was equally balanced for and against the claim.
The deciding factor: The Board afforded the Veteran the benefit of the doubt due to the approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the nexus between military service and the Veteran's current bilateral hearing loss.
