Six short questions about your service and your hearing.

Which branch did you serve in?

Veterans Redress may introduce you to a specialist solicitor experienced in military hearing loss claims. If you choose to proceed, the solicitor may offer a No Win No Fee agreement. The exact terms and any fees will be explained before you decide. You are free to pursue a claim yourself or use another solicitor. Veterans Redress may receive a fee from a solicitor following a successful introduction; this does not reduce any compensation you may be awarded.

A straightforward route to answers

You served. If your hearing was damaged, you deserve to know where you stand.

Veterans Redress provides information and guidance for former UK Armed Forces personnel who believe their hearing may have been damaged by excessive noise during service.

We run specialist veteran outreach campaigns and, where appropriate, may introduce you to a solicitor experienced in military hearing loss. The solicitor can assess your circumstances, explain your legal options and, if you decide to proceed, handle the claim on your behalf.

The first step is simple: complete the free eligibility check. It takes only a few minutes and there is no obligation to continue.

What is redress about?

Hearing damage should not simply be written off as 'part of the job'. Loud environments do not remove the Ministry of Defence's responsibilities for the health and safety of service personnel.

Common causes of military hearing damage

Years of service can mean years of exposure to damaging noise.

Military personnel may have been exposed to high noise levels from:

  • Explosions and blast noise
  • Gunfire and mortars
  • Armoured vehicles and heavy machinery
  • Aircraft and helicopter noise
  • Military bands and prolonged instrument exposure
  • Bombs, pyrotechnics and training exercises

You do not need to know exactly when the damage happened before making an enquiry. A specialist solicitor can review your service history and the circumstances of your noise exposure.

Do these sound familiar?

You may have adapted to hearing loss without realising how much it affects you.

Asking people to repeat themselves

You regularly miss parts of conversations or need people to say things again, especially when several people are talking.

Constant ringing or buzzing

Tinnitus can present as ringing, buzzing, humming or other sounds that are not coming from an external source.

The TV is 'too loud'

You may increase the volume to a level that feels normal to you but is uncomfortable for other people.

Watching people's lips

You may rely on facial and lip movements to fill in words or sounds you cannot hear clearly.

Struggling in busy places

Background noise in pubs and restaurants can make speech much harder to separate and understand.

Discomfort after loud noise

Blast noise, weapons fire, aircraft and machinery can cause temporary or permanent hearing damage.

If one or more of these applies to you and you served in the UK Armed Forces, it may be worth checking whether your hearing condition could be service-related.

How Veterans Redress works

Three simple steps. No obligation to proceed.

  1. 01

    Complete the free online check

    Tell us about your branch of service, when you left and the hearing problems you are experiencing.

  2. 02

    Get your circumstances assessed

    If your enquiry appears suitable, you may be introduced to a solicitor with experience in military hearing loss claims. They can review your service history, likely noise exposure and the evidence available.

  3. 03

    Decide if you want to proceed

    If there may be grounds for a claim, the solicitor will explain your options, the proposed funding arrangement and any fees before you make a decision.

What could a successful claim cover?

Compensation is not automatic and the amount varies from case to case. Where a claim succeeds, the solicitor will assess the losses and effects supported by the evidence. Depending on the circumstances, they may also discuss hearing-related support such as hearing aids, treatment or management of tinnitus.
