Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hearing loss and tinnitus to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a failure to properly notify the Veteran of a scheduled VA examination and an incomplete request for his STRs, including his separation examination report.
