Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to obtain a VA opinion that addresses relevant evidence regarding left ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board found the February 2024 examiner's opinion inadequate because it did not address the medical significance of prior audiological test results.
