Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and PTSD, but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's reported symptoms of tinnitus and a favorable finding regarding her PTSD. Bilateral hearing loss was not shown to meet VA's definition of a disability at any time during the appeal period.
