Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable disability rating for bilateral hearing loss to ensure compliance with the duty to assist, specifically regarding scheduling and conducting an examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to unclear documentation of efforts made to contact the Veteran regarding a VA examination for hearing loss and to obtain audiometric testing results from 2023.
