Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions provided did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements and evidence of record, including the significant permanent threshold shift in hearing during service.
