Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to a pre-decisional error in the VA audiological examination reports.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's tinnitus originated during active service, considering his noise exposure and reported symptoms. The Board found that service connection was warranted based on this evidence.
