Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied it for hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Tinnitus was granted due to the presumptive service connection criteria being met, while hearing loss was denied as there was no evidence of a current disability meeting VA's criteria for a hearing loss disability.
