Industrial Deafness and noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) are terms that refer to hearing loss which have been caused by long term exposure to noise in the workplace.

Symptoms associated with industrial deafness can take many years to come to light and may include:

• Difficulty hearing conversations and regularly asking people to repeat themselves, especially in situations where there is other background noise.
• You struggle to hear the television or radio and increase the volume to compensate. Your loved ones might complain about the excessive noise.
• You experience tinnitus – a condition which causes sufferers to perceive a ringing, whistling, or buzzing noise in their ears.

If you have developed any of these symptoms and have previously worked in very loud surroundings then you may be able to claim compensation. Contact us today to discuss a potential claim. We offer all clients a free no obligation initial consultation and if we can help you claim, we will fund your claim on a No Win No Fee basis.
