Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hearing loss, but remanded the claim for sleep apnea for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted due to a nexus to the Veteran's service-connected hearing loss; however, the claim for sleep apnea requires additional evidence and will be remanded for further development.
