Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for bilateral hearing loss but granted service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable evaluation in excess of 10 percent for bilateral hearing loss, while the Veteran's statements and medical findings supported a grant of service connection for tinnitus.
