    A former Royal Marine has said the Ministry of Defence (MoD) accepting responsibility for hearing loss suffered during service gave him a “glimmer of hope” in his legal fight for compensation.Robert “Barney” Barnett was medically discharged from the armed forces in 2014 after an 18-year career, which saw him serve on three tours of Afghanistan and two of Iraq.The 44-year-old is now one of thousands hoping to receive compensation for noise-induced hearing loss suffered during military service after the MoD accepted that it had a duty of care towards personnel.
