Tinnitus, characterized by a persistent ringing in the ears, is a pervasive issue among military personnel, primarily stemming from exposure to loud noises during service. Approximately 50–90% of tinnitus cases are associated with hearing loss, a common consequence of military activities.
This condition not only causes physical discomfort but also leads to cognitive strain, sleep disturbances, and psychological distress, significantly affecting veterans’ quality of life. To address tinnitus, various interventions are available, including hearing protection during service, advanced hearing aids, and sound therapy.
Nonetheless, tinnitus remains a pressing challenge within the military, demanding ongoing research and support for veterans coping with this widespread and debilitating condition.
