Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus on a presumptive basis due to continuous symptoms since service, but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss as there was no current disability.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted based on the Veteran's continuous symptoms of tinnitus since service and his MOS exposure to noise. Bilateral hearing loss was denied because there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of hearing loss for VA compensation purposes.
