Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss but denied service connection for the other claimed conditions, remanding several claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability of bilateral hearing loss. For the other claims, additional information was needed to determine if the disabilities were related to service.
