Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for other specified trauma-and-stressor-related disorder, bilateral tinnitus, and right ear hearing loss, while denying service connection for left ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of the other specified trauma-and-stressor-related disorder, bilateral tinnitus, and right ear hearing loss were directly linked to his military service, while there was no evidence supporting a link between the left ear hearing loss and his service.
