Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus, left ear, as there was no current diagnosis of tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the Veteran's symptoms were not tinnitus but transient ear noise experienced by the general population and he did not have recurrent tinnitus.
