Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for right ear hearing loss was granted, while left ear hearing loss and tinnitus were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's left ear hearing loss or tinnitus were related to his military service, but there was sufficient evidence to grant service connection for right ear hearing loss due to its onset during service.
