Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for a VA examination regarding bilateral ear disfigurement.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of bilateral hearing loss, while the Veteran was given another opportunity to appear for an examination related to his claim for bilateral ear disfigurement due to lack of proper notification.
