Veterans with Hearing Loss
Hearing loss and tinnitus are the most common service-connected disabilities, affecting nearly three million service members. HLAA is here to help with a virtual chapter just for veterans.
Causes of service-related hearing loss can include…
- Regular exposure to explosions, gunfire and blast weaponry
- Prolonged exposure to noise from specialties such as aviation
- A single acute blast injury event
- Contact with ototoxic chemicals
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Age-related or other causes
If you’re a veteran with hearing loss, you don’t need to face it alone
Our Veterans Across America Virtual Chapter (VAAVC) meets online every 3rd Tuesday of the month, providing nationwide connection and peer support.
