Armed Forces: Hearing Impairment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, to provide the costs of Hearing Loss Claims in last 5 years to the MOD, including damages, costs and costs per case.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
Statistics on the number of common law compensation claims and financial settlements including Noise-Induced Hearing Loss are published annually at the following link.

The next report will be published this summer, covering financial year 24-25, however it would be disproportionate to calculate the costs per case.
