The Aruch Hashulchan notes that "recently" a practice among some 
Ashkenazic Jews has developed to refrain from wearing Tefillin on 
Chol Hamoed. He is referring to the practice of Chassidim, which was 
also the practice at the famed Volozhiner Yeshiva (as recorded by the 
Rav, Shiurim L'zeicher Aba Mori Zal p.119)

And from http://dinonline.org/2014/04/07/tefillin-on-chol-hamoed-pesach/

The Rema adds that the Ashkenaz custom is to wear Tefillin and recite 
a berachah, but because of the sensitivity of the topic the berachah 
should be recited quietly. Later authorities espouse the compromise 
noted by the Tur, meaning that Tefillin are worn but the berachah is 
not recited (see Taz 31:2; Mishnah Berurah 31:8).
