Some may develop hearing loss, especially for high-frequency sounds, or tinnitus ("ringing in the ears"), or both, as a result of their noise exposure. Hearing loss or tinnitus incurred or aggravated during military service may qualify veterans for services and financial compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Since World War II, the human and financial cost associated with hearing loss among military veterans have repeatedly drawn attention to noise, hearing loss, and the need for hearing conservation in military settings.DeafnessEtiologyTinnitusEtiologyDeafness, Noise inducedAcoustic traumaSoldiersHealth and hygieneVeteransHealth and hygieneNoiseHealth aspectsDeafnessEtiology.TinnitusEtiology.Deafness, Noise induced.Acoustic trauma.SoldiersHealth and hygiene.VeteransHealth and hygiene.NoiseHealth aspects.617.8/07Humes Larry1662022Joellenbeck Lois M(Lois Mary),1963-1616847Durch Jane1092318Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Associated with Military Service from World War II to the Present.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818566203321Noise and military service4018328UNINA
