Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and current hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by an audiologist was found to be probative as it supported a nexus between the Veteran's hearing loss and his conceded in-service noise exposure.
