Hearing loss and tinnitus are among the most common service-connected disabilities for veterans.
2.5M
TINNITUS AFFECTS MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION VETERANS.
1.3M
HEARING LOSS AFFECTS OVER 1.3 MILLION VETERANS.
THE BIG QUESTION…?
The military provides eye exams and PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES FOR SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AND AIRMEN. IF TINNITUS AND HEARING LOSS ARE 3x GREATER THAN VISUAL IMPAIRMENT… WHY ARE WE NOT PRESCRIBING CUSTOM-FIT IN EAR HEARING PROTECTION?
