Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. The Veteran's claims will be reconsidered with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a lack of documented hearing loss in service is not sufficient to deny the claim, and ordered additional medical opinions.
