Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a need for an addendum opinion regarding preexisting conditions and potential aggravation during service.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to address the deficiency in determining whether the Veteran's hearing loss was aggravated by her time in service, applying the correct legal standard.
