Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear hearing loss but denied it for right ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's left ear hearing loss was related to his conceded in-service noise exposure, while there was no evidence of a disability for VA compensation purposes regarding the right ear.
