Noise experts may affect industrial deafness compensation claims

The world is becoming an ever-noisier place and many health and safety experts have made a special study of the causes and prevention of noise in the workplace which can lead to industrial deafness compensation.

In October 2009, the 8th European Conference on Noise Control was held in Edinburgh, organised by the UK-based Institute of Acoustics on behalf of the European Acoustics Association, to gather specialists from throughout the Continent to discuss latest research on a variety of topics relating to human reaction to noise.

The effect of noise on health was one of the sessions covered in the biggest international conference on noise in Europe this year and attracted almost 1,000 delegates.

Professor Stephen Stansfield's lecture gave an overview of the new challenges in this field and spoke on the setting up of the new European Research Network on Noise and Health which draws together research and encourages training.

Although much of the Institute of Acoustics members' work covers environmental noise, as well as technical aspects of acoustics engineering, many are also involved in health and safety and are aware of the need to reduce the dangers of personal injury to employees caused by industrial noise and consequent hearing loss.

Poor building acoustics and lack of suitable protection can increase strains on hearing, especially when continued long-term. Negligence by an employer is one of the reasons workers may be able to make an industrial deafness compensation claim if they have suffered pain, distress and reduced quality of life through loss of hearing.
