Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee, right knee, right shoulder, and back disabilities but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence reflects that the Veteran's left, right knee, right shoulder, and back disabilities are related to active service. However, there is no current disability for VA purposes under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385 for bilateral hearing loss.
