Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss was denied. Service connection for right ear hearing loss was granted. All other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient evidence to link the Veteran's right ear hearing loss with his time in service, but not enough to warrant a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss.
