Benefits, treatment and 100% compensation after a hearing loss diagnosis

If workers do not realise that their workplace has caused their hearing to function at less than 100%, compensation will be the last thing on their mind. Industrial deafness needs to be diagnosed first, but the very fact of this diagnosis can be such a shock that sufferers do not know what to do next.

Often, the doctor who diagnoses industrial deafness, tinnitus, or another form of hearing loss can supply information about what to do next. Patients, however, may be too dazed to take this in at this point.

What to do next: treatment, benefits, support, compensation
If you are suffering from work-related hearing loss, your doctor should be able to tell you of any treatments that are available in your case, or any steps you can take to prevent the condition worsening. You may also be referred to a specialist.

You could be eligible for government benefits, such as Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. The amount you will be eligible for varies with the degree of severity of your condition. Read more about claiming IIDB benefits.

If there is a support group near you that you can join, this can be a great source of comfort and tips on handling your condition. Read more about deafness support groups.

Finally, if your work-related hearing loss is the result of your employer's actions (or inactions) you may well be eligible to make an industrial deafness compensation claim. Should you want to take this option, it is important to find the right personal injury solicitor for your needs.
