Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right and left eye disabilities, but remanded claims for obstructive sleep apnea, right ear hearing loss, left ear hearing loss, and tinnitus due to a need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current eye conditions were not shown to be related to his military service, while the other issues required further development of the record.
