Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss to allow the AOJ to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically regarding the conversion of the Veteran's hearing evaluations from ASA standards to ISO-ANSI.
The deciding factor: The March 2017 VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to the use of incorrect measurement standards for the Veteran's hearing evaluations.
