Granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's right ear hearing loss based on new and relevant evidence submitted by the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the negative VA opinions failed to fully address all the evidence of record, including the Veteran's lay statements concerning continued right ear hearing loss. The balance of probative evidence was in favor of the Veteran.
