Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss based on the evidence showing current disability and a reasonable likelihood that it is related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was found in approximate balance, and the benefit of the doubt was given to the Veteran due to his MOS as a Gunner's Mate and reported noise exposure during service.
