Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, resolving any reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a link between the Veteran's diagnosed bilateral hearing loss and his acoustic trauma in service due to noise exposure from jet aircraft while working as a military fire fighter on the flight line.
