Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral tinnitus was granted. Other claims, including those for hearing loss and various numbness/tingling issues, were remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's statements and medical evidence supported a diagnosis of tinnitus with in-service onset and continuation since service.
