Get help if you’re a veteran with hearing loss or tinnitus

If you’ve served in the Armed Forces and need information and support to manage hearing loss and tinnitus, we can help. We are also here to support groups working with veterans.

This service is for people living in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

It’s estimated that 300,000 ex-service personnel in the UK are living with hearing loss or tinnitus. During the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we are continuing to provide information on hearing loss and tinnitus to veterans, their families and carers.
