About Occupational Deafness and Tinnitus
Occupational deafness (sometimes called industrial deafness or noise induced hearing loss) is the deterioration of a person's hearing abilities due to exposure to excessive noise in the workplace. Tinnitus is a condition involving ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears or the head. Tinnitus is also thought to be related to excessive noise levels.

Due to the prolonged and excessive levels of noise exposure involved, people in certain industries or occupations are most at risk of developing noise induced hearing loss or work related tinnitus. Labourers, engineers, members of the armed forces, factory workers and construction workers are among those workers who are most likely to develop work related deafness or hearing loss.

Advice on Making a Claim for Work Related Deafness or Tinnitus
If you have previously worked or currently work in a noisy environment and have suffered from a serious decrease in hearing abilities or the onset of tinnitus, you should seek medical and legal advice at the earliest possible opportunity. If you were not provided with adequate protection or believe your deafness has been caused by your occupation, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Depending on your case, it may be possible to make your claim on a no win no fee basis. There may also be alternative methods available to you to cover the costs of making a compensation claim. Your solicitor will discuss all of the options available to you during your initial consultation.
