Deafness - Noise Induced Hearing Loss - In 1963 the Government produced a document confirming that noise at work could cause hearing loss and tinnitus (noises in the ear). Since then employers have been required to assess the level of noise within their work place. Where the noise was assessed as being excessive they have been required to take reasonable steps to reduce the noise levels. Where this has not proved possible they have been required to provide and enforce the wearing of hearing protection.

We have helped hundreds of people make successful No Win, No Fee claims enabling them to rebuild their lives after industrial deafness. We provide our clients with access to our network of leading medical experts to ensure they receive the best treatment and injury rehabilitation available.

Many employers have failed to follow Government guidance relating to noise at work. As a result tens of thousands of employees have had their hearing damaged by their employment. There are many jobs which create excessive noise.

It is a popular misconception that you have to operate machinery for your hearing to be damaged. In fact a lot of Claimants with noise induced hearing loss simply worked in a noisy factory. If the noise to which you were exposed at work was so loud that you had to shout to make yourself heard then the chances are that your hearing was damaged by your employment.

If you believe that your hearing is worse than it should be or if you have noises in your ears and you have worked in a noisy environment or worked with noisy tools it is possible that you have noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus caused by your employment and you may be due compensation.
