Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a back condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of presumptive service connection for tinnitus, but did not show current disability of hearing loss or a back condition as defined by VA regulation 38 C.F.R. § 3.385 at any time during the appeal period.
