Partly granted
The veteran's bilateral hearing loss is service-connected. The claim for a left arm disability is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's currently diagnosed bilateral hearing loss is etiologically related to his active service, resolving reasonable doubt in his favor.
