Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss but denied it for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding the nexus between the Veteran's current hearing loss and his in-service noise exposure, while there was no evidence linking tinnitus to service.
