Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to an inadequate VA examination report.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA examination was found to be incomplete as it did not provide a sufficient rationale and failed to consider the Veteran's statements regarding symptoms since service.
