Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and direct service connection for a cervical spine condition were denied. The claims for secondary service connection for the cervical spine condition and service connection for a thoracolumbar spine condition were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence linking the Veteran's conditions to her service, despite her assertions of aggravation due to service.
