Hi Ray,
Very good article on BOP.
Attached references show that US Army and USMC have already identified the issues and adjusted training safety procedures. All available online.
Australia is far behind ADF studies and DVA support. NZDF slowly catching up.
How do you get screened??
If you have had accepted (or are claiming) sensorineural hearing loss and/or tinnitus it means you highly likely to have been exposed to blast overpressure. DVA will cover $$ of BOP Screening with specialist neurologist** under PAMT.
