Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claims for acquired psychiatric condition, hypertension, headaches, and compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nerve damage.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus is related to in-service noise exposure, while other conditions were not shown to be related to service or otherwise established by competent medical evidence.
