James Barry was medically downgraded and discharged from the Navy and suffered ongoing symptoms.
By Greig WatsonA former Royal Marine has been awarded more than £700,000 in compensation over hearing damage caused during training.
He said his noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus was due to not having proper training or suitable protection. Mr Barry's legal team had said hearing problems first appeared after returning from an exercise in the US in 2014. The legal team also said hearing problems were acknowledged by the MoD in hearing tests, but they continued to send him on exercises and subject him to unprotected noise exposure.
