Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, finding that both conditions are at least as likely as not related to noise exposure during active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, concluding that his current disabilities are directly related to in-service noise exposure.
