Partly granted
The appeal was withdrawn and dismissed for hearing loss, a headache disability, joint pain, memory loss, and fatigue. Tinnitus was granted due to service connection. Other issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: Tinnitus is granted based on in-service noise exposure and continuity of symptoms; other issues require further development.
