Noise & Hearing Loss Compensation Claims

Back to Accident at Work Claims

Noise-induced hearing loss is the result of regular exposure to damaging levels of noise over a period of time. The hearing loss will be similar in each ear and will progressively get worse due to sustained periods of exposed noise. All too often the true extent of the damage is not even noticed until years later.

If you have suffered hearing loss of any kind through no fault of your own, get in touch with one of our personal injury solicitors to discuss your compensation claim. You could be awarded compensation where you have suffered hearing loss due to poor safety procedures in your working environment. Inevitably this disability affects people’s lives and hearing aids can only assist, but not recover, hearing. Sadly there is no cure for noise-induced hearing loss - it simply cannot be reversed.

Employers have a legal duty to protect their employees under the health and safety guidelines; the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 set levels to combat the problems of associated hearing loss. This Act drew employers’ attention to their obligation to protect their employees’ hearing. Employers within noisy workplaces are obliged to arrange to have noise levels tested and assessed on an on-going basis and must inform staff of any risks associated with their job, inclusive of noise-induced hearing loss.
