A new Armed Forces Tinnitus Hub

The Armed Forces Tinnitus Hub

Tinnitus UK has partnered with the Veterans Welfare Group (VWG) to launch an online hub designed to support veterans, service personnel, and their families living with tinnitus. 




The Armed Forces Tinnitus Hub offers trusted guidance, real-life experiences, and practical tools to help those affected. Tinnitus impacts an estimated one in seven people in the UK, and military personnel and veterans are particularly at risk due to regular exposure to gunfire, aircraft, and other loud noise environments.


The new hub includes ‘Veteran Voices: Real Stories’ – lived experience interviews that focus on resilience and hope, as well as ‘Sound Off’, a new six-part education course and support group for service members, veterans, families and support workers.

There will be expert advice on tinnitus, hearing protection and management strategies, as well as signposting to vital services such as employment, mental health and financial support. The hub also connects users to wider Tinnitus UK services, including the helpline, support groups and downloadable resources, while Veterans Welfare Group will provide direct pathways to further veteran-specific help.


Danny Knight, Partnerships Manager at Tinnitus UK, said: “There are 500,000 UK veterans with tinnitus and hearing trauma who face unique challenges because our healthcare system is not designed with them in mind. They are falling through a gap between MOD and NHS care that no one else with tinnitus has to face. This hub has been built to provide expert information, solidarity and hope from those who’ve walked the same path. It’s about giving the Armed Forces community practical tools, trusted advice, and a reminder that they’re not alone.”
