Partly granted
Service connection for tinnitus was granted. Service connection for bilateral hearing loss was denied. The claim for service connection for bilateral pes planus was remanded due to new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision on tinnitus was based on the Veteran's credible reports of symptoms beginning in service and continuing thereafter, establishing continuity of symptomatology.
