Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left ear hearing loss disability and denied a compensable evaluation for a right ear hearing loss disability. The claims for service connection for right and left shoulder conditions were remanded due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's in-service exposure to hazardous noise, while a compensable rating for the right ear hearing loss was not supported by the evidence of record.
