Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied it for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the conclusion that the Veteran's auditory thresholds met the criteria to be considered a disability for VA purposes, while her tinnitus was related to her military service based on in-service diagnosis and continuity of symptoms.
