Royal Marines Hearing Claims

What Are Royal Marines Hearing Claims?

Royal Marines undergo some of the most intense combat training in the world, with live fire exercises, explosives handling, and close-quarters battle drills creating extreme noise exposure. Operational deployments further increase the risk of noise-induced hearing damage.

What Are the Common Causes?

• Live firing and weapons training
• Close-quarters battle exercises
• Explosive breaching and demolitions
• Helicopter and landing craft operations
• Heavy weapons and mortar fire
• Vehicle and boat engine noise

Who Can Claim?

Current and former Royal Marines of all ranks who have developed hearing loss or tinnitus due to noise exposure during Commando training or operational service.
