Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral tinnitus, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance on whether it is related to the Veteran's conceded in-service noise exposure. The appeal of service connection for a headache condition was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in approximate balance regarding the etiology of the Veteran's bilateral tinnitus, leading to its grant. For the headache condition, additional development is needed before a final decision can be made.
