In the United Kingdom, they know how to treat their soldiers. According to an article in The Times (United Kingdom; 8/11/2009), Charles Bradlaugh was awarded the equivalent of $538,300 from the Ministry of Defence. While a soldier, he lost all hearing in one ear following a firing exercise in 2004. The Ministry of Defense had failed to provide hearing protection.

The soldier also suffers from tinnitus in the left ear as a result.

Imagine if the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs had to pay out amounts similar to this one for hearing loss and tinnitus.  Surely, then, they would provide high-tech ear plugs to all its members and instruct them in their usage. Veterans of the armed forces would be able to lead better lives following their service in the armed forces, and would not be kept up at night by phantom whooshing or whistling sounds from tinnitus.

Until then, those who suffer from tinnitus would benefit from Tinnitus DX, a homeopathic remedy and dietary supplement for tinnitus.
