Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability and tinnitus, but denied service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance for the claims of entitlement to service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability and tinnitus; however, there was no competent medical evidence supporting the claim for GERD.
