Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, finding it related to the Veteran's in-service noise exposure. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's current tinnitus and his in-service noise exposure, while the evidence is insufficient to determine the etiology of his bilateral hearing loss.
