NIHL and tinnitus caused by military equipment can be debilitating, affecting all aspects of life – yet they are avoidable. In military circles, people have known about them for decades, but many sufferers prefer to remain silent, often out of loyalty towards their regiment or the MoD. Or perhaps they feel responsible, as it was their choice to enlist. Or maybe they don't want to admit to suffering from hearing loss.

Do you suffer from hearing loss due to military service? You may be due compensation.

However, hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) are not inevitable consequences of military life. Like any employer, the MoD has a duty of care to safeguard you from the risk of hearing damage – for example, by providing adequate ear protection against noise from:

• Gun and artillery fire
• Mortars
• Explosions
• Pyrotechnics
• Aircraft noise
• Vehicle engine noise
