There are several reasons why people's hearing deteriorates, it could be due to the aging process, it could be because of another health problem such as diabetes, or, as many workers in industrial or loud environments have already found, it could be noise-induced hearing loss that is causing you problems.
The problem with many forms of hearing loss, especially work-related deafness, is that the deterioration is progressive and you may not realise that it is happening. Workers who get tinnitus as a result of their work environment know quite readily that there hearing has changed, as they hear the constant hum or buzzing associated with the condition.
However, if you are gradually being affected by excessive noise levels at work, the following ten questions may help you decide if you need to make a deafness compensation claim.
1. Do you have trouble hearing telephone conversations?
2. If more than one person is talking, do you find it difficult to follow a conversation?
3. Do your family complain that the TV is too loud when you are watching it?
4. Do you strain to hear conversations?
5. In a noisy environment, such as a busy restaurant, do you have difficulty hearing?
6. In a typical day, are you likely to say "What?" or "Pardon?" many times?
7. Do you believe that most people mumble and do not speak clearly?
8. Do you often misunderstand what people are saying, such as hearing "eat a frog" when the person said "see the fog"?
9. Do you have trouble hearing the higher pitched voices of women and children?
10. Do you get annoyed with others because you can't understand what they are saying?
If you have answered "yes" to a number of the above questions it could be time to get a hearing test. If you can also answer "yes" to the final question - do you now or have you ever worked in a noisy environment where you feel your hearing was not sufficiently protected and you were not warned of the dangers of high noise levels - then you may be able to make a claim for deafness with YouClaim.
