Denied
The Board denied service connection for right ear tinnitus as it is not etiologically related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examiner concluded that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's tinnitus was caused by or a result of her military noise exposure, and there is no credible medical evidence supporting such a connection.
