Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise, requiring that reasonable doubt be resolved in favor of the Veteran regarding his tinnitus claim. The hearing loss claim required a more thorough examination as the previous one was deemed inadequate.
