Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is due to in-service noise exposure. The low back disability claim was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence does not weigh against finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is a result of service or etiologically related to in-service noise exposure.
