Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for right ear hearing loss and left ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the finding that the Veteran's tinnitus had its onset during active service, while there was no persuasive evidence to support a current disability of right or left ear hearing loss as defined by VA regulatory criteria at 38 C.F.R. § 3.385.
