Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss and tinnitus, but denied service connection for left ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a current disability for the Veteran's left ear hearing loss. However, there was sufficient evidence to establish that the Veteran's right ear hearing loss and tinnitus were related to noise exposure during military service.
