Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a left knee disability, and a low back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the continuity of symptomatology for tinnitus, while it did not support a link between the other conditions and military service or any in-service event, injury, or disease.
