Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied it for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the appellant's claim for tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, but there was no evidence of an increase in severity of pre-existing hearing loss during service.
