Suffering from altered hearing can affect all areas of a victim's life. If an individual has sustained hearing damage through work-related noise, they could be eligible to make a tinnitus claim.
The symptoms of tinnitus may not immediately be apparent to the person whose hearing is becoming damaged but once tinnitus has fully developed and become noticeable, it is untreatable.
Suffering from loss of hearing due to a constant ringing in a tinnitus sufferer's ears can severely lower the quality of their life and enjoyment they get from day-to-day activities.
Simple things such as holding a conversation with someone, watching the television or listening to music can be rendered difficult and frustrating by such a hearing problem.
Furthermore, tinnitus sufferers might not be able to comprehend their surroundings properly and therefore could be more likely to suffer an accident.
For example, a pedestrian, who used to rely on their hearing to tell them if a vehicle was coming along the road, may be involved in a collision after not having heard an approaching car or misjudging its distance when listening to the volume of the car engine.
In addition, the individual may begin to suffer from depression or symptoms linked to it due to the stress of their situation.
For instance, most people can travel to the countryside and experience the relative silence of their surroundings, however, an individual with tinnitus may still be plagued by the ringing in their ears.
The constant disturbance can lead to lack of sleep, loss of appetite, and many other stress-related symptoms.
Making a tinnitus claim with expert help
If you or a family member is suffering from work-related tinnitus, contact YouClaim to see if you could make a compensation claim.
It is an employer's responsibility to provide all workers employed within a noisy environment with personal protective equipment (PPE) and make sure that it is worn in the correct manner.
Failure to supply PPE or train employees in its safe usage, could lead to a worker sustaining an injury such as tinnitus and making a claim for damages.
