Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear tinnitus and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's right ear tinnitus is at least as likely as not a symptom associated with his diagnosed right ear conductive hearing loss, while there was no evidence of a current hearing disability in either ear under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385.
