Partly granted
Service connection for tinnitus is granted. The claim for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's consistent reports of an onset of tinnitus during service and considering his exposure to hazardous noise, the Board finds that the Veteran is credible to report that his tinnitus onset during service and has continued since.
