Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was related to in-service noise exposure, while the evidence regarding his bilateral hearing loss was insufficient to establish a direct link to service.
