It is unfortunate that for many engaged in the process of making a tinnitus claim or explaining a tinnitus diagnosis, the response from friends and acquaintances can sometimes be, "Tinnitus, that's just a little ringing sound in the ears, isn't it?"
Yet the truth is that the industrial deafness condition is far more than just a little ringing noise. For a start, it is not always characterised as a ringing sound and may vary from a hum, to a scream, to a whining, whistling or ringing sound.
Although objective, pulsatile, tinnitus is "observable" and can actually be heard by clinicians, the vast majority of cases are subjective and are apparent to the sufferer only.
However, there are objective tests for ascertaining the subjective experience of sufferers. For example, the audiometric test which, by discriminating a sufferer's perception of different sound intensities, can provide a clinical assessment of a person's tinnitus. Once this has been done, the patient's symptoms will then be placed on a simple scale, which can range from a diagnosis of "slight" tinnitus to that which is considered "catastrophic".
No win, no fee tinnitus claim specialist YouClaim explains how the results of an audiometric test can be essential in providing medical evidence to support a case for compensation. "Any workplace illness which is manifest only to the sufferer needs to be carefully substantiated by medical experts before an insurance company agrees to pay out compensation for negligence.
"An audiometric test is one of the accepted methods of doing this with tinnitus. It can also be a way of helping friends and family understand the clinical reality of the condition.
