Do You Have a Military NIHL Claim?

If you were exposed to loud noise during military service and have suffered hearing loss or tinnitus as a result, you may have a valid claim. You do not need to be currently serving — veterans can also claim.

Hearing loss from weapons fire or artillery
Hearing loss from armoured vehicles or aircraft
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) from noise exposure
Hearing loss from training exercises
Gradual hearing loss over years of service
Sudden hearing loss from a single noise event

Time limits apply — we recommend seeking advice as early as possible.

How We Can Help

Your Claim Options

There are two main routes for military NIHL compensation. We advise on which is most appropriate for your circumstances.

Potentially higher compensation

Civil Claim Against the MOD

A civil negligence claim against the Ministry of Defence for failing to protect you from excessive noise exposure. Civil claims can result in higher compensation than AFCS awards, particularly where the impact on your life and employment is significant.

For injuries from April 2005

Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)

The AFCS provides structured tariff awards for injuries sustained on or after 6 April 2005. Awards are based on a tariff system. We advise on whether an AFCS claim is appropriate and assist with the application process.
