Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss but denied service connection for left foot, right foot, left knee, right knee, back, neck, and ulcer disorders.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current bilateral hearing loss. However, there was no sufficient evidence to establish a relationship between any of the other claimed conditions and service.
