Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing acuity did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while additional evidence is needed to determine if GERD is related to his service.
