Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss for an addendum medical opinion and additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an error highlighted in a Joint Motion for Remand, specifically regarding the definition of a significant threshold shift and addressing the Veteran's report of temporary hearing loss following a blow to the head during service.
