Jay Morton

UK Special Forces (SAS)

Jay served 14 years in the British Army, including a decade in the UK Special Forces (SAS). His career took him on operations around the world, leading teams in some of the most extreme and hostile environments on earth.

“When you’re a soldier with your whole career ahead of you, hearing damage is the last thing on your mind. All you care about is being professional and getting the job done. Hearing protection was never a priority. Since leaving, I’ve noticed a big drop in my hearing, plus tinnitus. You don’t realise how much hearing loss affects you until it’s too late. – Jay Morton”

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.

Pushing Limits, On and Off Duty

Since leaving the military in 2018, Jay has built a career as an adventurer, author, and motivational speaker. He has summited Everest twice, founded Concept Expeditions, and appeared as a DS on SAS: Who Dares Wins in both the UK and Australia. His focus now is on helping others develop the mindset, resilience, and leadership skills forged through his years of service.

“When you leave the military, you realise how alone you are. The structure, the support, the belonging, it all disappears. Veterans for Veterans is run by people who’ve lived that life. They understand, they speak your language, and they’re here to fight your corner. That’s why I stand with them, veterans supporting veterans, making sure no one is left behind. – Jay Morton”

FAQs

If you relate to any of the FAQs, or want to find out more get started here.

What if I’m not sure I have hearing loss?

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.

Can I claim if I served before 1987?

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.

I no longer live in the UK. Can I still claim?

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.

Can I claim if I already receive a War Pension or Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments?

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.

Will I have to pay legal fees?

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
