THE Ministry of Defence (MoD) will compensate thousands of ex- servicemen who suffered hearing loss during training or combat, as per a BBC report Military personnel are repeatedly exposed to loud noises, such as gunfire and bombing, during their careers.

MoD rejected claims The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has opposed many claims made by veterans experiencing hearing loss, arguing other sources of noise were to blame, individuals should have worn protection or their claims were too late.

Now it has accepted exposure to noise in the military has been a cause of hearing loss and that people discharged after 1987 could be eligible for compensation.

Between 2012 and 2020, the MoD paid £72m in compensation for military hearing loss, settling more than 9,000 cases. It is likely this new court agreement will result in many more service people receiving payments.
