Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied it for bilateral hearing loss. The claims for chronic headaches, edema of the bilateral feet, and left knee pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while bilateral hearing loss was denied as there was no current diagnosis during the pendency of the claim.
