Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied service connection for left ear hearing loss, right ear hearing loss, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current tinnitus. However, there was no evidence of a bilateral hearing loss disability as defined by VA standards or credible supporting evidence for PTSD or erectile dysfunction.
