Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left ear hearing loss but denied it for right ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of right ear hearing loss, while there was at least a balance of positive and negative evidence to show the Veteran's left ear hearing loss is related to active-duty service.
