Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, finding that the evidence was at least in relative equipoise and resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The other claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The positive and negative evidence regarding the Veteran's claimed conditions is at least in relative equipoise, and the Board resolved all reasonable doubt in his favor by granting service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
