Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a right ear hearing loss disability and a left ear hearing loss disability for further development, including obtaining additional VA examination opinions.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA opinion is found to be insufficient due to factual inaccuracies and an incomplete review of relevant audiometric testing.
