Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal to correct an error in obtaining VA treatment records relevant to the evaluation of the Veteran's hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The January 2025 audiological testing results are necessary for a proper evaluation, as the February 2025 examination did not provide this information and the Veteran's responses were found unreliable.
