Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA opinion is found to be inadequate as it did not address significant facts in the case, provided a medical analysis, or provide factually accurate reasoning.
