Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss, finding a causal link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and her current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence established that the Veteran's tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss were caused by her in-service exposure to hazardous noise, as symptoms began during service and continued since then.
