How Many UK Veterans Could Be Affected by Military Hearing Loss?
Thousands of UK Veterans Could Have a Military Hearing Loss Claim – Are You One of Them?
Hearing loss is one of the most common but overlooked injuries among UK veterans. Many ex-military personnel don’t realise their hearing damage is linked to their service, and thousands could be eligible to claim compensation without knowing it.
The Scale of the Problem – How Many Veterans Are Affected?
1 in 3 military personnel are exposed to hazardous noise levels during service
Over 300,000 UK veterans may have noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus
Many service personnel were not provided with effective hearing protection
Despite these numbers, many veterans never make a claim—either because they assume it’s too late, or they don’t realise they could be eligible.
Why Are So Many Veterans Affected?
During service, military personnel are routinely exposed to dangerous noise levels, including:
Gunfire & Explosions – The shockwave from blasts can cause instant hearing damage
Helicopters, Jet Engines & Tanks – Operating around military aircraft and vehicles
Live Fire Training Exercises – Repeated exposure to small arms and artillery fire
Naval Operations – Continuous exposure to loud mechanical equipment onboard ships
If you served in the Army, Royal Navy, RAF, or other military roles and now experience hearing loss or tinnitus, it may be linked to your service.
How Many Veterans Are Actually Claiming Compensation?
Despite the high numbers of affected veterans, only a small percentage ever make a claim. Many believe:
🚫 It’s too late because they left the military years ago
🚫 They don’t have enough evidence to prove their case
🚫 They won’t be able to afford legal fees
The truth is, thousands of veterans could claim compensation right now—and all claims are handled on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning there’s no financial risk.
What Can Veterans Do If They Think They Have a Claim?
If you’re experiencing hearing loss or tinnitus and served in the UK military, the first step is to get your hearing assessed. A claim can help:
✔ Provide financial support for the impact of hearing loss
✔ Ensure medical assessments to confirm the extent of damage
✔ Hold the MoD accountable for failing to protect service personnel
