Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to a need for an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be at least as likely as not related to in-service noise exposure, while further evidence is needed to determine the etiology of his bilateral hearing loss.
