The majority of people who make a tinnitus claim will be seeking to receive compensation from those responsible for exposing them to excessive noise in the workplace.
However, this is not always the case; in some cases a compensation claim for the condition will hinge on issues of product liability.
For example, in 2007, America's Food and Drug Administration revised the labelling of a number of erectile dysfunction drugs after it was found that they might have the potential to cause sudden deafness, as well as hearing-related conditions such as tinnitus.
This development came about after the Journal of Laryngology & Otology reported that a number of these drugs - tadalafil, slidenafil and vardenafil - all had a small but significant risk factor for causing deafness-related conditions.
In fact, these were not the only drugs found to carry a potential tinnitus-related product liability risk; another drug, used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, also needed relabelling.
Of course, there are other instances where liability for a tinnitus claim falls on the manufacturer of a faulty or defective product. For example, there have been cases of firework manufacturers being held responsible for such claims after the sudden and uncontrolled explosion of faulty products. Sound equipment manufacturers that produce faulty or defective equipment may also become embroiled in questions of liability for compensation.
Indeed, such questions are not confined to the private consumer. They may even be pertinent in the workplace if, for example, ear defenders fail and a worker goes on to develop the condition.
