Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to address the Veteran's noise exposure and hearing loss symptoms during service.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 and November 2024 examinations were found inadequate due to their failure to acknowledge certain evidence and the Veteran's lay statements.
