Soldier says hearing ruined by machine-gun noise, sues MoD for £75,000

Ex Irish Guards sergeant William Isherwood sued the UK Ministry of Defence for £75,000, claiming permanent hearing damage from defective ear defenders during 16-year service (1983–1999) across weapons training and Northern Ireland operations. The MOD contests, arguing realistic combat training necessitates noise exposure and supervision is impractical; the dispute illustrates occupational-liability and supply-chain accountability risks for organizations managing high-hazard environments.
