Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for hearing loss and tinnitus were denied. Other conditions, including left knee, right knee, heart condition, sleep apnea, and back disability, were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of tinnitus or hearing loss in either ear that is an impairment under VA laws.
