Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was granted. The Board found that the veteran's hearing loss was at least as likely as not incurred during his service in the U.S. Marine Corps.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's competent and credible statements, combined with his service treatment records, established a nexus between his in-service incurrence and his current bilateral hearing loss.
