Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of bilateral hearing loss is remanded because the VA medical opinion did not fully comply with the Board's directives. The case will be reviewed again after additional evidence is considered.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not consider a statement from the Veteran's treating provider, Dr. E.C., as directed by the Board.
