Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 70 percent disability rating for bilateral hearing loss from February 23, 2010 to March 30, 2018, and the claim for service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) was also granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's BPPV was caused by his service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
