Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The claims for hearing loss and increased ratings for the left knee and leg fractures were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on credible lay statements and conceded in-service noise exposure, while further evidence is needed to evaluate other claims.
