Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection for tinnitus was granted due to the Veteran's reported noise exposure during service, while service connection for bilateral hearing loss was denied as there was no evidence of a causal relationship between the current disability and in-service noise exposure.
