British Telecom Hearing Loss Cases
- Have you worked for British Telecom?
- Did you use "tone sets"?
- Do you have hearing difficulties?
Our clients
Hugh James is acting on behalf of BT engineers and former BT engineers whose hearing has been damaged by their work.
How has their hearing been damaged?
The damage has been caused by the use of "tone sets" which were used when installing and maintaining telephone lines.
Common hearing problems
Our clients’ hearing problems include difficulties with normal conversations, not hearing the TV, not hearing when there is background noise. Many of our clients suffer from noises in the ears known as tinnitus, and also require hearing aids.
BT’s response
BT has admitted liability in the majority of the cases that we are handling. They accept that they have wrongly exposed their workforce to excessive noise levels.
Compensation
The claims include compensation for the injury. In many cases the claim will include the cost of treatment and the future cost of hearing aids.
A number of our clients have already benefited from our help and received compensation.
