Dismissed
The claims for service connection for tinnitus and hearing loss were dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election of review options.
The deciding factor: The April 2025 VA Form 10182 constituted an improper concurrent election, as the Veteran had already filed a Supplemental Claim appeal request that was pending at the time.
