Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for dry eye syndrome of bilateral lacrimal glands and tinnitus, but dismissed the appeal regarding a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of dry eye syndrome and tinnitus began during active service, while the evidence was insufficient to establish a link between his hearing loss and military service.
