Key legal question
Whether the claimed tinnitus was in natural causal connection with the alleged accident and thus compensable under accident insurance.
Extracted holding
The causal connection was not shown with predominant probability; the insurer correctly denied liability.
Extracted reasoning
The medical evidence was conflicting, but the court gave full evidentiary weight to the insurer’s expert opinions. No measurable hearing loss was established, and short latency alone did not make accident causation predominantly probable.
