Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for right ear hearing loss and a compensable evaluation for left ear hearing loss were dismissed as the Veteran withdrew his appeals at a December 2024 Board hearing. The remaining claims are being remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeals for service connection for right ear hearing loss and a compensable evaluation for left ear hearing loss were withdrawn during a December 2024 Board hearing, thus the Board lacks jurisdiction to review these claims.
