Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for hearing loss in the right ear was granted. The claim for a compensable initial evaluation for hearing loss in the left ear was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence is in approximate balance or greater that the Veteran's hearing loss, right ear, is etiologically related to his in-service exposure to hazardous noise.
