Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus to afford the Veteran an opportunity to undergo a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is warranted due to the Veteran missing scheduled VA examinations without proper notification, and to ensure VA's duty to assist in developing his claim is met.
