Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability and tinnitus, but denied service connection for heart disability and prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the onset of hearing loss and tinnitus during service, while there was no persuasive evidence supporting the onset of heart disease or prostate cancer in service or as a result of service exposure.
