Partly granted
Service connection for tinnitus is granted. Service connection for left ear hearing loss is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's tinnitus manifested within one year of separation from active service due to in-service noise exposure, resolving reasonable doubt in her favor.
