Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) Claims

Men and women who are serving or have served in the United Kingdom Armed Forces are at significant risk of developing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) during their service. This condition is primarily caused by repeated exposure to loud noises encountered during training exercises and operational duties. Common sources of harmful noise include operating heavy machinery, participating in live and blank firing exercises, and working in close proximity to aircraft.

Non-Freezing Cold Injury (NFCI) Claims

Those serving in the British Army usually sustain a non-freezing cold injury (NFCI), also known as ‘trench foot’ or ‘cold weather injury’, on winter training exercises, often carrying out duties such as sentry duty, manning an observation post or setting an ambush.

NFCIs usually affect the body’s extremities, such as hands and feet.

Client Reviews

We've helped thousands of Veterans and current service personnel to claim for their hearing-loss and cold-exposure injuries. See what some of them have to say.

The VFV team understands my unique struggles and provided the guidance I needed to navigate my claim. Genuinely refreshing service.

Mark R.

I had no idea who to speak to about my hearing loss but within a few mins of speaking to the chaps at VFV they settled my nerves.

Alan T.

Really happy with the support VFV gave me in answering all my questions about claiming. The process seems daunting but the team were great.

Lisa M.

Fantastic what this group of veterans is doing to support the military community. Every thing was quick and painless.

James W.

My hearing has been bad for two decades but always put it down to age deterioration. VFV arranged a hearing test for me and it displayed all the symptoms of MNIHL, so they helped me get my claim in. Thanks guys
