Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's current conditions arose during or are related to his active service, so the benefit of the doubt is given to the Veteran.
