Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus due to insufficient evidence regarding a medical nexus between military noise exposure and the Veteran's current conditions.
The deciding factor: The examination provided was deemed inadequate as it did not provide a theory of non-service related causation, necessitating further examination.
