Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, effective January 25, 2018, but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran had an acquired psychiatric disability due to her in-service experiences, while the weight of the evidence did not support a finding that either hearing loss or tinnitus were related to service.
