Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus, a bilateral hand tremor disability, and an increased rating for headaches due to the lack of evidence supporting a direct link between these conditions and the Veteran's time in service.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence indicated that the Veteran's tinnitus, hand tremors, and headaches were less likely than not related to his military service, including any exposure to hazardous noise or toxic substances.
