Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding it to be etiologically linked to the Veteran's active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The positive nexus opinion from the private doctor was found probative and sufficient to establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's current disability and his in-service noise exposure.
