Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, but denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and migraines.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's military noise exposure and his current hearing loss and tinnitus, but not for his psychiatric or migraine conditions.
