Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the appellant's claim of tinnitus due to in-service noise exposure, while there was insufficient evidence to establish a current disability for VA purposes in his right ear or a nexus between left ear hearing loss and military service.
