What Is a Military Deafness Claim?

Hearing damage is one of the most common long-term injuries suffered by members of the armed forces. Constant exposure to gunfire, artillery, explosions, aircraft, and heavy vehicles — often without adequate hearing protection — can cause permanent, irreversible harm. A military deafness claim allows serving personnel and veterans to seek compensation for this damage.

The two most common conditions are noise-induced hearing loss (a gradual, permanent reduction in hearing) and tinnitus (a persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears). Both can have a serious impact on daily life, from struggling to follow conversations to disrupted sleep and difficulty at work after leaving service.

The Ministry of Defence has a legal duty of care to protect personnel from avoidable harm — including providing suitable hearing protection, training, and regular hearing checks. Where that duty was breached and your hearing suffered as a result, you may be entitled to claim. Our team helps you understand your options, whether through a civil claim or the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, and guides you through the process.

Can You Make a Military Deafness Claim?

You may be eligible to make a military deafness claim if:

  • You served, or are currently serving, in the armed forces (Army, Royal Navy, or RAF).
  • You were exposed to damaging levels of noise during your service.
  • Adequate hearing protection was not provided, maintained, or enforced.
  • You have since developed hearing loss, tinnitus, or related symptoms.
  • Your condition affects your health, work, or quality of life.

Time limits apply and differ depending on the route — a civil claim generally has a three-year limit from the date you became aware your hearing loss was linked to service, while the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme has its own separate deadlines. Because these limits can be complex, it’s best to get advice early. Our specialists will review your situation and explain the most suitable path for you.

Military Deafness Claim FAQs

How much compensation can I get for military hearing loss?
The amount depends on the severity of your hearing loss or tinnitus and how much it affects your daily life. Milder cases attract lower awards, while significant or bilateral hearing loss can result in higher settlements. Your compensation may also account for related costs such as hearing aids. We’ll give you a realistic idea after assessing your case.
Yes. Many veterans only notice their hearing loss years after leaving service. You may still be able to claim, though time limits apply — often calculated from the point you became aware your condition was linked to your service. Getting advice early helps protect your position.
A civil claim is pursued against the Ministry of Defence for negligence, while the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) is a government scheme that pays a tariff-based award for injuries caused by service. Each has different rules, time limits, and outcomes. We’ll assess which route is most suitable for you.
Helpful evidence includes hearing test (audiogram) results, medical records, details of your service and roles, information about your noise exposure, and any record of when your symptoms began. We help you gather and arrange much of this.
