Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss but granted service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss, while there was sufficient evidence to establish a link between his tinnitus and military service.
