Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left ankle sprains but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service activities and his current ankle conditions, but did not meet the criteria for hearing loss under VA regulations.
