Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for GERD.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service acoustic trauma and current tinnitus, but not between his in-service gastrointestinal symptoms and current GERD.
