Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss to obtain an addendum opinion addressing specific questions regarding the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to its reliance on a lack of contemporaneous treatment records and failure to address other evidence in the claims file.
