Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss to obtain an addendum opinion addressing in-service noise exposure and pre-service hearing tests.
The deciding factor: The November 2021 C&P opinion was found inadequate as it did not address relevant evidence and failed to consider whether the Veteran's hearing loss was caused by service despite not manifesting during that period.
