Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was remanded for further evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible and probative the Veteran's lay statements regarding a continuity of symptomatology since service, despite unfavorable VA opinions.
