The Board has determined that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus are related to his military service, with resolution of doubt in favor of the Veteran.

The Veteran's tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss have been rated at the maximum allowed under VA regulations. No further increase in rating is warranted.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone did not preclude him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation prior to August 5, 2009.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the Veteran's claims for service connection for asthma, pneumonia, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus. As a result, these issues are being remanded to the RO for further consideration.

The Veteran's appeal for higher ratings on multiple service-connected conditions, including tinnitus and hearing loss, was denied. The Veteran also requested service connection for otitis media of the left ear and bronchitis, but these claims were not addressed as they are not related to service connection.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for a local hearing and readjudication of his claims.
