Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied an increased rating for ADHD. The claims for bilateral hearing loss and left knee meniscal tear were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran's tinnitus is etiologically related to his in-service exposure, but the evidence did not support a higher rating for ADHD or service connection for bilateral hearing loss and left knee meniscal tear.
