Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for recurrent tinnitus but denied it for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted on a presumptive basis due to continuous symptoms of tinnitus since active service, while the evidence did not support a diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss under VA's definition for compensation purposes.
