Hearing Loss: The Most Common Disability Among Veterans & First Responders
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, hearing loss is the most common service-related disability among American veterans—primarily due to prolonged exposure to hazardous noise during training and combat. Sounds exceeding 90 decibels can cause hearing discomfort or damage, and military personnel are frequently exposed to noise levels reaching as high as 150 decibels.
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reveals that veterans are 30% more likely than civilians to experience severe hearing issues. For those who served after September 2001, the risk is even higher—up to four times greater. In fiscal year 2016 alone, the VA diagnosed 190,000 veterans with tinnitus and 103,000 with hearing loss.
But it's not just veterans who suffer in silence.
First responders—those who run toward emergencies—face similar risks every day. From blaring sirens and emergency machinery to explosions and chaotic environments, their work constantly puts their hearing on the line.
So what’s the most common service-connected health problem?
It's not PTSD.
It's not traumatic brain injury.
It's not limb loss.
It’s hearing damage.
