Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was denied. The veteran's claim for service connection for right knee disorder to include gouty arthritis was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran does not have a current bilateral hearing loss disability as recognized by VA regulation, but the evidence established that the Veteran's right knee condition manifested in service and has continued since.
