Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and an increased rating greater than 10 percent for tinnitus, but remanded the claim for service connection of migraines.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to not be disabling enough to warrant a higher rating, while his migraines were remanded due to insufficient evidence linking them to his service-connected tinnitus.
