Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a need for an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examiners' opinions were found insufficient as they did not adequately address the possibility of delayed onset hearing loss and relied solely on normal hearing at separation.
