Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and granted a 30 percent rating for GERD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish current bilateral hearing loss sufficient for VA purposes, while the Veteran's GERD symptoms were found to more nearly approximate a combination of symptoms productive of considerable impairment of health.
