Partly granted
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for left ear hearing loss and remanded claims for service connection for right shoulder, left knee, left ankle, and neck conditions.
The deciding factor: The audiometric results did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. The Veteran's claimed conditions were remanded to afford him VA examinations to determine their etiology.
