If you left the Forces after 1987 and your hearing has dipped, you may have a valid claim. We’ll arrange your hearing test at your home and guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
A certified assessor visits you at a time that suits, carrying out a full professional audiology test without the need to travel or attend clinics.
We partner exclusively with legal teams who focus on Armed Forces cases and understand the technicalities of military noise exposure.
There are no costs to begin or progress a claim. You only pay if your case succeeds. If it doesn’t, you owe nothing.
Repeated exposure to high-intensity noise during service is one of the most common causes of long-term hearing damage among UK veterans. Whether your exposure came from small arms fire, heavy weapon systems, aircraft operations, naval machinery or vehicle engines, the cumulative effect can lead to noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus.
We provide a straightforward way to document that damage: a full audiology test carried out in your home, followed by a specialist review by military hearing loss solicitors who understand MOD procedures, service conditions and evidentiary requirements.
It takes only a few minutes to begin. One home assessment gives you clarity, and a specialist solicitor handles the rest at no cost unless your claim succeeds.
No. We arrange a full audiology assessment at your home. A qualified assessor brings all equipment and completes the test in around 30–45 minutes.
Because before this date, the MOD was protected by Crown immunity. After 1987, the law changed and the MOD had a duty of care similar to a civilian employer, meaning negligence claims for avoidable noise exposure became possible.
Yes. If you served after May 1987 and can show your hearing was damaged by military noise exposure, you may be able to claim compensation. This includes damage from weapons fire, aircraft, vehicles, engines, machinery and repeated training exercises.
It’s a regulated assessment using calibrated equipment to measure your hearing levels across different frequencies. The results show whether your hearing loss is consistent with noise exposure during service.
NIHL refers to permanent hearing damage caused by repeated exposure to dangerous noise levels. Common signs include difficulty hearing speech, struggling in busy environments, turning up the TV, and long-term tinnitus (ringing or buzzing).
Yes. Tinnitus is recognised as a standalone condition linked to military noise exposure and is commonly included in hearing loss claims.
Yes. You only pay a fee if your claim succeeds. If it doesn’t, you pay nothing.
Timelines vary, but many NIHL claims resolve within several months once medical evidence is complete. Recent MOD agreements have made settlements faster and more straightforward.
Veterans discharged after 1987 can now bring hearing loss and tinnitus claims because the law no longer protects the MOD from negligence in cases of avoidable noise exposure. As noise regulations tightened and medical evidence confirmed the long-term impact of weapons fire, aircraft, vehicles and machinery, the MOD’s duty of care became clearer, and recent legal agreements have made the claims process far more straightforward.
If your hearing has deteriorated since service, especially from post-1987 noise exposure, you now have a recognised pathway to pursue compensation with proper, regulated assessment.
If your hearing has changed since service, take the first step today. A simple home assessment can give you the clarity you need.
