Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of bilateral hearing loss is remanded. The Board needs more information to decide the claim.
The deciding factor: The VA opinion was inadequate because it did not fully address the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and the role of his MOS in causing the current disability, nor did it discuss the likelihood of delayed-onset hearing loss.
