Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's current condition began during his active duty and has persisted since then.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's credible lay statements regarding the onset and progression of his tinnitus to be more probative than the VA examiner's opinions.
