Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for left ear hearing loss is remanded due to an inadequate VA examination. The case will be sent back for a new audiological examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found the April 2023 VA audiological examination inadequate because it did not address key findings and testing issues, necessitating a remand for another examination.
