A FORMER Army cadet has received a five-figure pay-out after she was left with the hearing of an 80-year-old following a firing drill.
Officer cadet Storm Rae, 23, had to give up a Sandhurst scholarship after suffering ear damage during a 2008 training exercise in Norway, her lawyers said.
The firm claimed the woman, from Suffolk, was given insufficient ear protection and suffered permanent tinnitus. Her hearing was described as that of an 80-year-old.
