Industrial Deafness
According to the Health
& Safety Executive (HSE) over 1 million employees in Great
Britain are exposed to levels of noise which put their hearing at
risk.
You may have suffered
hearing loss if you have worked in a noisy environment in the
past.
Industrial deafness compensation
Please read about:
Symptoms and early signs of hearing
loss include difficulty with normal conversation, complaints by
family members that the television is too loud, difficulties using
the telephone, confusing similar words, difficulty hearing when out
socialising, particularly with background noise.
You may also have noticed noises in
your ears. If you have noticed any of these symptoms or
indeed similar symptoms, then your hearing may have
deteriorated. If you have previously worked or continue to
work in a noisy environment then you may be entitled to
compensation.
