Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for a left knee disability for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss that meets VA criteria, while there was an indication that the Veteran may have had a qualifying in-service event related to his left knee pain.
