Narrative:

The first officer briefed and flew a standard stabilized approach. There was a very firm touchdown with no side drift and no bounce, touching down on mains then nose. The logbook entry was made requesting a hard landing inspection by maintenance. No damage was found by maintenance. Lead flight attendant had reported that he had neck surgery in 1995 where they fused his vertebrae. After this landing he reported seeing stars and experiencing numbness on the left side of his face. He flew one more leg to get off trip at home in pit. 2 days later 'B' flight attendant reported soreness in her posterior. Later on that 3RD day of trip first officer had a firm landing again but this was within normal limits. I suggested first officer get his eyes checked for depth perception. I personally discussed both lndgs with chief pilot of home base after trip. I debriefed first officer on correct flare technique. I debriefed dispatcher, maintenance, system crew scheduling and lga station manager. First officer said he was getting a physical this month. I suggested an eye check. I suggested first officer not make 40 degree flap lndgs unless absolutely necessary. I flew the rest of the legs.
