Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back injury but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for a back injury, while there was no persuasive evidence of current disability or nexus to service for the other conditions.
