Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left ear hearing loss disability and tinnitus, but denied it for a right ear hearing loss disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims of service connection for left ear hearing loss and tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while the right ear did not meet the criteria for a hearing loss disability under VA regulations.
