Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a back disability due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be etiologically related to acoustic trauma sustained in active service, while further evidence is needed to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed back disability.
