In the long run, Marine officials also hope the suppressors will help reduce hearing damage suffered by Marines in combat units.

They have to be careful about what they say. This pretty much gives Marines almost an automatic hearing loss service-connected disability or a V.A. disability.

Until the military fixes things, this should be automatic anyway for combat arms.

nearly every service member can already claim this based on initial and ending required hearing tests.

For those who served when I did, sixties to eighties, it pretty much is automatic. So are hearing aids for those of us who actually lit off guns. They didn't start issuing ear plugs until the mid seventies and all of us really do have hearing loss
