Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a bilateral hearing loss disability to ensure an adequate VA audiological examination is conducted.
The deciding factor: The December 2020 VA audiological examination was inadequate as it did not provide audiometric results at all thresholds necessary to evaluate whether the Veteran had a hearing loss disability under 38 C.F.R. § 3.385.
