Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's tinnitus, finding it attributable to service. The veteran's consistent statements and records supported the claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current diagnosis of tinnitus is causally related to the Veteran's in-service noise exposure based on the Veteran's consistent statements, STRs, military personnel records, and post-service treatment records.
