Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding a causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and current disability.
The deciding factor: The private examiner's opinion provided a definitive nexus between the Veteran's in-service acoustic trauma and his current bilateral hearing loss, which was deemed probative evidence supporting the appeal.
