“Some of the hardest moments for me are those nights when the ringing in my ears just won’t stop. Finding even a brief moment of peace and calm can be difficult.”
Krishna's Hearing Loss Story
Helping Nepali Military Families Overcome Hearing Loss
In civilian life, Krishna has become an internationally renowned mountaineer with nine world-first records and a spiritual guide who blends ancient wisdom with modern leadership and life.
His frontline service in Iraq and Afghanistan forged his reputation for calm, decisive leadership – a quality that also defines his achievements in the mountains. He has led the largest team ever to summit Everest and is the first serving Warrant Officer to conquer both Everest and K2.
“In Nepal, families often rely on soldiers not just for protection, but for support, guidance, and hope after service. As Gurkhas, we carry this responsibility with pride. But when we can no longer serve, who steps in to support our families?”

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.
The legal firms we work with operate under Conditional Fee Agreements. Your case will be covered by an after the event (ATE) insurance policy.
