Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus but denied it for bilateral hearing loss, left knee disability, right knee disability, and bilateral foot disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's tinnitus and in-service noise exposure, while there was no current disability of bilateral hearing loss or sufficient evidence to establish service connection for the other conditions.
