Daniel Eden
Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME)
Daniel Eden served with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). Following a life-changing injury that resulted in the loss of his right arm, he channelled his determination into adaptive sport, becoming a para athlete and advocate for wounded veterans. Through challenges, competition, and fundraising, Daniel continues to inspire others by proving that setbacks do not define what can be achieved.
“I frequently struggle with hearing people talk. Specifically my partner Meg. I have this habit of not hearing what she says first time! ”
Noise Induced Hearing Loss Claims
Those serving in the British armed forces often experience noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) during their service, particularly from exposure to loud noises in training exercises and operations, including duties such as operating heavy machinery, participating in live fire exercises, or working near aircraft.
NIHL typically affects the inner ear, leading to symptoms that may include:
- Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Difficulty understanding speech
- Muffled hearing
If you think you have suffered noise-induced hearing loss, you may be entitled to compensation.

FAQs
If you relate to any of the FAQs, or want to find out more get started here.
You don’t need to be certain. Many veterans don’t realise the extent of their hearing damage until tested. Part of the claims process includes an audiology test, which will confirm whether you have hearing loss.
Claims can only be made for service after May 1987. This is because Crown Immunity protects the Ministry of Defence from claims for injuries before that date. If you joined in 1986 and served until 1995, you may still claim for the period after 1987. This law changed following the case of Smith V Ministry of Defence.
Yes, you may still be able to as long as you served in the UK Armed Forces. Each case is assessed individually and if your case has merit, your claim can proceed even if you’re based abroad.
Yes. Having a War Pension or Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) award does not prevent you from pursuing a separate civil claim, including if you have already been rejected for AFCS.
The legal firms we work with operate under Conditional Fee Agreements. Your case will be covered by an after the event (ATE) insurance policy. This insures you against loses and allows your case to be no win, no fee. If your claim is unsuccessful, all legal costs are covered and you don’t have to pay a penny. If your claim is successful a fee of 25% (including VAT), along with the insurance premium, will be deducted from your final settlement to cover your solicitor’s costs
