Help for those making a deafness compensation claim
For someone new to deafness who finds themselves making a deafness compensation claim the whole experience can seem overwhelming.
This is, of course, a grave situation. To go from being a person with full, unimpaired hearing to someone with full or partial hearing loss can be an unimaginably difficult transition and makes a deafness compensation claim entirely justified.
Yet the experiences of people who are congenitally deaf inspire and demonstrate that even for people who have suffered work-related deafness there is plentiful prospect of leading a full and rich life. Obviously, because of the life-adjustments that need to be made for someone who has suffered hearing loss, making the transition to full and rich life is made less hazardous by a successful deafness compensation claim.
The deaf community
There are around 300 social clubs for deaf people in Britain and each run sophisticated varieties of forums, activities and events. A number of television programs such as See Hear (BBC) currently broadcast for deaf people in the UK. Surprisingly to some, there are even mass rave-like parties staged for deaf people in the UK which attract thousands of thrill-seekers.
And, for anyone who might be wishing to invest money from a deafness compensation claim in further study, three of Britain's major universities (Wolverhampton, Bristol and Central Lancashire) have Deaf Studies specialist centres.
Deafness support organisations
For someone who has recently suffered hearing loss in a work accident, a number of organisations exist who can support you both before and after the outcome of your deafness compensation claim.
The Royal Association for Deaf People offers help in areas such as employment, sign-language training, interpreting services and community development. Other organisations that might be useful to people wishing to pursue a deafness compensation claim are:
- The British Deafness Association
- Deafness Research UK
- www.deafblind.org.uk
The LINK Centre for Deafened People
This organisation will probably prove to be the most helpful to people wishing to make a deafness compensation claim who have only recently experienced deafness.
LINK's particular expertise is in the area of Acquired Profound Hearing Loss (APHL). They cover all of the UK, including: Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland and run intensive rehabilitation programs, social support groups, volunteer schemes and implant support programs. Also, most local councils offer extensive support to people who have experienced sudden hearing loss.
