Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied it for bilateral hearing loss and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's credible report of tinnitus, combined with his MOS as an Infantryman and conceded noise exposure, warranted a grant. The lack of current disability evidence for the other conditions led to their denial.
