Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches, finding a sufficient basis to do so. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent and credible lay statements supported the existence of a current disability and continuity of symptoms since service, leading to a grant of service connection for headaches. For the hearing loss claim, an inadequate medical opinion necessitated a remand.
