Partly granted
Service connection for bilateral hearing loss and lumbosacral strain was denied. Service connection for left knee strain, right knee strain, and bilateral pes planus (flat feet) was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the evidence persuasively weighs against finding a current disability related to service for hearing loss and back issues.
