Granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus were granted based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence demonstrates that the Veteran currently experiences bilateral hearing loss for VA purposes and that the evidence is in approximate balance regarding whether the bilateral hearing loss is due to military service, thus entitling the veteran to the benefit of the doubt.
