Partly granted
Service connection for bilateral hearing loss is denied. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, is remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss and the record lacks sufficient evidence to establish service connection.
