Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral tinnitus disability but denied it for a bilateral hearing loss disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately balanced as to whether the Veteran's tinnitus arose in or is related to service, leading to its grant. However, there was not enough evidence of current hearing loss that meets VA compensation standards.
