Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, but granted restoration of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had current disabilities related to his claimed conditions or that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active service.
