Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral tinnitus was granted. The claims for left ear hearing loss, hypertension, and sinus problems were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported presumptive service connection for bilateral tinnitus due to its manifestation within a year of discharge from active duty.
