Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's conditions were incurred in service due to noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current disability, an in-service incurrence of a disease or injury, and a causal relationship between the present disabilities and the in-service events. The Board found the opinion from D.E., an audiologist, to be probative.
