Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for left ear hearing loss due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The examinations provided did not adequately address the threshold shifts demonstrated in the Veteran's service treatment records, thus failing to meet the duty to assist requirements.
