Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for further development, including clarification of a private audiogram and scheduling of a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's inability to test the Veteran's puretone thresholds and speech discrimination scores is due to inconsistent results, making the current evidence insufficient for rating purposes.
