Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus as the prior VA examinations are inadequate.
The deciding factor: The October and December 2023 examinations were deemed inadequate due to invalid hearing test results, and there may be outstanding relevant VA treatment records that need to be obtained.
