Partly granted
Service connection for bilateral hearing loss is granted. The claims for left hip and right shoulder disabilities are remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hearing loss is more likely than not related to his active-duty service, but needed further examination for the other conditions.
