Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Industrial deafness claims, sometimes referred to as occupational deafness or noise induced hearing loss (NIHL), are often the trickiest cases to identify as frequently the individual suffering from the complaint does not think there is anything wrong. By the very nature of the condition it does tend to come on very gradually and as such the sufferer doesn’t think a problem exists. More often than not it is friends and family who identify the problem by complaining that the individual concerned has the television too loud or misses parts of conversations – sound familiar?

Thankfully industrial deafness can be quickly and easily identified via a hearing test which our solicitors can arrange on your behalf to see if you may be affected by this condition. Industrial deafness shows a very specific pattern of high frequently hearing loss and so following a hearing test we will be able to tell you immediately if you may or may not be able to claim. Rather than sitting wondering if your hearing may or may not have been damaged by your working environment why not contact us today and find out if you could be entitled to compensation. Hearing loss itself is not something anyone wants but the majority of our clients tell us that whilst it is a nuisance and does inconvenience them, the main problem they complain of is one of tinnitus – a ringing or buzzing in the ears. Tinnitus is often, although not always, present in noise induced hearing loss cases and depending upon the severity it can seriously impact upon the sufferers life even to the extent where it can keep them awake at night.

Unfortunately there are no cures for tinnitus at present but there are a variety of therapies and aids that can help you cope with the problem, our solicitors will discuss these with you and if appropriate will seek to recover extra compensation payments to fund any aids or medical treatment you may require.
