Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding its etiology.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 and June 2025 VA opinions were found inadequate, as they did not provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting their findings to the facts of the Veteran's individual disability picture.
