Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type 2 and bilateral hearing loss, but granted service connection for erectile dysfunction/loss of use of reproductive organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's erectile dysfunction was found to be 'but-for' due to his service-connected hypertension, while the other conditions were not supported by sufficient evidence.
