Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current tinnitus is presumed to have been incurred during active duty, but there was no evidence supporting a conclusion that his current sensorineural hearing loss disability is related to an in-service disease or injury.
