Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded claims for service connection for a cervical spine disability, lumbar spine disability, and left bicep tendon rupture disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current disability of bilateral hearing loss as defined by VA regulations. The claim was denied based on the lack of a current disability.
