Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for left ear hearing loss is granted. The decision is based on evidence showing in-service noise exposure and a current diagnosis of left ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance regarding the causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current left ear hearing loss, applying the benefit of the doubt to the Veteran.
