Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and remanded claims for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hearing loss did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while the other conditions required further evidence through VA examinations.
