Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss, but denied service connection for neck, low back, and bilateral foot conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be related to active military service, while the other claimed disabilities were not shown to exist or have a relationship with service based on the evidence of record.
