“Noise induced hearing loss stories resonate with many of us. People spend years brushing off the ringing in their ears and missing parts of conversations thinking it was just part of getting older. When it comes time to get help it can be frustrating, but talking to someone who actually served can make all the difference. – Mark Ormrod MBE”

Noise Induced Hearing Loss Claims

Veteran suffering hearing damage from explosion.

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.

Strength, Service & Spirit

Since then he has become a successful author, motivational speaker and Britain’s most successful ever Invictus Games athlete winning 11 medals, four gold, and Spirit of the Games following which he won BBC South-West’s Sports Personality of the Year. Prince Harry dubbed him “Britain’s answer to Superman.”

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 upto 30% (including VAT), along with the insurance premium, will be deducted from your final settlement to cover your solicitor’s costs
