Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for left ear hearing loss and right ear hearing loss due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a favorable finding of fact regarding noise exposure during active service, with the benefit of the doubt rule applied where evidence is in approximate balance.
