Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right ear hearing loss to obtain an adequate VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2021 VA examinations were found inadequate, and a new examination is needed to address the Veteran's lay statements and the presumption of aggravation.
