Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for service connection for left ear hearing loss and right ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus is related to his military service due to noise exposure, while the evidence is insufficient to establish a direct link between the Veteran's hearing loss and his military service.
