Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding continuity of symptoms were found credible, and there was an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence supporting his claim for tinnitus. The February 2021 VA examination opinion was deemed inadequate.
