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. 606 $aDeafness$xEtiology 606 $aTinnitus$xEtiology 606 $aDeafness, Noise induced 606 $aAcoustic trauma 606 $aSoldiers$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aVeterans$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aNoise$xHealth aspects 615 0$aDeafness$xEtiology. 615 0$aTinnitus$xEtiology. 615 0$aDeafness, Noise induced. 615 0$aAcoustic trauma. 615 0$aSoldiers$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aVeterans$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aNoise$xHealth aspects. 676 $a617.8/07 701 $aHumes$b Larry$01662022 701 $aJoellenbeck$b Lois M$g(Lois Mary),$f1963-$01616847 701 $aDurch$b Jane$01092318 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Associated with Military Service from World War II to the Present. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818566203321 996 $aNoise and military service$94018328 997 $aUNINA
