Partly granted
The Board denied an increased disability rating for tinnitus and granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was related to his active service, while he is already receiving the maximum schedular rating for tinnitus.
