Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic headaches and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss. The remaining claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current headache disability was related to an in-service onset, while the evidence did not support a current disability for hearing loss as defined by VA regulations.
