Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus due to a need for additional development.
The deciding factor: There is a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not assisting the Veteran to obtain hearing conservation testing with Boeing following service, as well as a need for records from his provider regarding a heart attack in 2004-05 and asbestos exposure during service.
