Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus because the evidence did not show that the condition began during active service or is related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no medical nexus between the Veteran's tinnitus and his military service, and there were no documented in-service complaints of tinnitus.
