Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence is in equipoise and that the Veteran's conceded noise exposure during active service caused his hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that service connection was warranted based on the evidence of record, including opinions from VA audiologists and Dr. Carter, which supported a link between the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and his in-service noise exposure.
