Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus based on continuity of symptomatology but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of evidence linking the condition to military service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's consistent statements and medical records, while the lack of evidence supporting a link between the hearing loss and service led to its denial.
