Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for a bilateral hearing loss disability for an addendum VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examination and medical opinion did not adequately account for the Veteran's report that his hearing loss began during service, rendering it inadequate.
