Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. The Veteran's case will be reviewed again with new medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA medical opinion was inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's lay statements about the onset of his hearing problems.
