Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for a low back condition for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus began during active duty service, as supported by his consistent reports of onset after working with machinery. The low back condition was remanded due to the need for a VA examination to determine its etiology.
