Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for hearing loss due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be related to in-service noise exposure, while a new VA examination is needed for the hearing loss claim.
