Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for left ear hearing loss but granted service connection for right ear hearing loss based on aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current left ear hearing loss, while there was an increase in the severity of right ear hearing loss during active service.
