Many of the individuals that are a part of the United States Armed Forces are at risk for hearing loss because of their day to day duties.  The risks are even greater for individuals who serve in a combat zone.  Explosions, gun shots, and other loud and violent noises can lead to hearing loss.

Preventative protection is taken in many cases, however because of  the uncertainty of war,  anything can happen in an instance.  For example,  several soldiers have suffered from hearing loss after being victims of an IED (improvised explosive device).  The loud explosions can lead to permanent damage and will require some soldiers to need treatment in order to restore their hearing to the proper level.
