Tinnitus initially affects a sufferer's hearing, but the symptoms of this type of hearing loss can be much more severe in the long run.
The constant ringing, which victims of this ear problem often describe as being inside their head, can result in loss of sleep and loss of appetite due to stress.
Lack of sleep can cause diminished mental performance, can exacerbate existing heart disease, and noticeably change a person's personality.
Lack of food will usually result in weight-loss and loss of energy, but other effects are known to be a slowed plus rate, fall in blood pressure, and eventually atrophy of the heart.
Any or all of these side-effects of suffering from tinnitus, can drastically lower a person's quality of life.
Victims of tinnitus should be able to make a compensation claim against their employer if their hearing loss is work-related.
For this reason, as well as to avoid the unnecessary suffering of a worker, employers should make sure that they provide ear protection where it is needed and train their staff to use it correctly.
Failure to do this could mean that a worker sustains work injury, in the form of tinnitus, and becomes unable to function as normal.
Not only is this stressful for the sufferer and their family, but for the company it may mean the loss of an employee as their condition worsens and the need to pay a settlement to the individual following a claim.
