Granted
The Board granted service connection for both bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, attributing these conditions to the veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding the hearing loss and persuasively in favor of the veteran regarding tinnitus, leading to a grant of service connection under the benefit of the doubt rule.
