Partly granted
Service connection for left ear hearing loss is granted. Service connection for right ear hearing loss is denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current disability of left ear sensorineural hearing loss that meets the VA requirements, and an in-service onset of left ear hearing loss; however, there is no evidence of a current disability of right ear hearing loss that meets the VA requirements.
