Partly granted
Service connection for tinnitus and left heel spur was granted. Service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a bilateral foot disorder other than service-connected bilateral pes planus and left heel spur, and a bilateral leg disorder other than service-connected bilateral knee strains was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all doubt in the Veteran's favor regarding tinnitus and left heel spur, finding that these conditions had their onset during military service or were proximately due to a service-connected condition.
