Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. The Veteran's representative argued that the Veteran had submitted arguments regarding these issues, but the Board did not find any such arguments in the record.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner's opinion was inadequate because it did not consider the Veteran's claim that his hearing loss began or worsened in October 1972.
