Partly granted
The Veteran's tinnitus is granted, while fibromyalgia, internal or external hemorrhoids, bilateral hearing loss, and neuropathy are denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a connection between the claimed conditions and service for fibromyalgia, internal or external hemorrhoids, bilateral hearing loss, and neuropathy. Tinnitus is granted due to in-service noise exposure presumed under 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(d).
