Granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear hearing loss, finding it at least as likely as not that the condition was caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the benefit of the doubt and the fact that the Veteran served in a position with high noise exposure, along with current medical evidence supporting the claim.
