Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss but denied a compensable disability rating for left ear hearing loss and a higher disability rating for bronchial asthma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ear hearing loss was found to be at least as likely as not causally related to noise exposure during active duty, while the other conditions did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating or higher disability rating.
