Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance that it is related to conceded noise exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the outside provider's opinion to be the most probative as it addressed the delayed auditory pathology and considered all relevant audiograms.
