Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss but granted service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: While the evidence did not show a current disability of bilateral hearing loss, it showed continuous symptoms of tinnitus since service and exposure to loud noise during service, leading to a grant of presumptive service connection for tinnitus.
