Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and GERD based on the evidence supporting a nexus to in-service noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current disabilities are related to in-service noise exposure, thus granting service connection is warranted.
