Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for tinnitus is granted, while his claim for bilateral hearing loss is denied.
The deciding factor: Tinnitus was granted on a presumptive basis due to the Veteran's continuous exposure during service and reported symptoms. Bilateral hearing loss was denied as there was no evidence of a current disability under VA criteria.
