Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA opinion to address the Veteran's high level of hazardous noise exposure during active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The June 2025 VA medical opinion is found inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's reported history and the evidence that he had a high level of hazardous noise exposure during active service.
