Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were deemed inadequate, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran regarding his tinnitus. For the hearing loss, further medical examination is required.
