Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied the Veteran's request to readjudicate his claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to a lack of new and relevant evidence, but remanded the issue for further development.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 and February 2024 VA opinions were found inadequate as they failed to address the Veteran's contentions regarding in-service noise exposure and provide adequate rationale.
