Real solutions to hearing loss

Life after serving in the military brings a host of challenges and it can be difficult for veterans and their families to adjust—even with Veterans Service Officers working tirelessly to support them, resources are often limited.

Hearing related issues are the top service-connected injuries affecting veterans of all generations1—often correlating with many other physical and mental health conditions. The most important thing for veterans to know is: You are not alone.

That’s why Hamilton® CapTel® built the Heroes With Hearing Loss® program, providing resources, guidance and support needed within the veteran community.
