Military Hearing Loss Claim's

Military personnel are often exposed to noise from gunfire, mortars, bombs, artillery, aircraft, vehicle engines and machinery. It does not matter if your symptoms are only minor now; it is important to consider how they may deteriorate and affect you in the future. Even if you have passed previous hearing tests, particularly those carried out in the military, you may still have a claim.

FAQs

We’ve answered the common questions we receive about making a claim for military hearing loss.

What is a military hearing loss claim?

A military hearing loss claim is a legal action taken by current or former service personnel who have suffered hearing damage due to exposure to excessive noise during their military service. This could include conditions such as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) or tinnitus.

Can I make a claim against the MOD?

Yes, you can make a claim against the MOD if your hearing damage resulted from their failure to provide adequate hearing protection or take reasonable steps to reduce noise exposure.

Am I eligible to make a claim?

You may be eligible if you:

  • Served in the armed forces
  • Were exposed to excessive noise during service
  • Suffered hearing loss or tinnitus as a result
  • Are within the legal time limit to bring a claim

What evidence will I need to provide?

Key evidence may include:

  • Your service records
  • Medical evidence confirming hearing damage
  • Details of your exposure to excessive noise during service

Our team can help you gather this evidence as part of your claim.

Is there a time limit for making a claim?

Yes, military hearing loss claims are typically subject to a time limit but we will advise you about this when you contact us. If you think you have hearing loss as a result of your military service, we recommend you contact us as soon as possible.

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation varies depending on the severity of your hearing damage, its impact on your life, and any related financial losses. We can assess your case and advise you on potential outcomes.

Will making a claim affect my military pension?

No, pursuing a legal claim should not affect your military pension or any other benefits you are entitled to receive.

What if I have already received AFCS Compensation?

Receiving AFCS compensation for hearing loss does not prevent you bringing a claim.

How long does the claims process take?

The length of the process can vary depending on the complexity of your case but you should expect the claim to take months rather than weeks and some cases can run for longer than that.

What are the costs involved in making a claim?

We handle military hearing loss claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means you won’t have to pay legal fees unless your claim is successful. We will explain all costs clearly before you proceed.
