Hearing loss can occur with anyone.

But one of the saddest scenarios are our young men and women in the military – the people who are willingly serving our country to protect us from harm.

Recent military statistics show nearly one in 10 soldiers returns from Iraq or Afghanistan with a serious hearing problem. Of the 1.3 million war zone veterans, almost 300,000 are now on disability due to damaged hearing or severe tinnitus. The cause? The same powerful roadside bombs that have accounted for so many American casualties.

Those bombs rupture eardrums and destroy the inner bones and nerves of soldiers’ ears. Consider this: hearing damage can occur at 85 decibels; the noise level from a roadside explosion or firefight can be over 180 decibels.
