It is a sad fact that many tinnitus compensation cases would have been prevented if employers had implemented thorough risk assessments, noise prevention measures and employee protection procedures.
With the above processes undertaken noise induced hearing loss and industrial diseases such as tinnitus can be negated, but some unscrupulous employers still put their workers at risk. Once a worker contracts a condition such as tinnitus, apart from making a no win, no fee compensation claim against their employer they will have to rely on treatment provided by their health service and wait for news of research into therapies for this debilitating condition.
Deep brain stimulation and tinnitus research
Sometimes known as "pacemakers for the brain" deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a form of treatment used for many disorders such as Parkinson's disease and other movement problems – it has also been indicated favourably in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
DBS involves the implantation of one or two ‘pacemakers' into the brain which then deliver electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain through probes connected to wires that pass up to the head from power sources implanted under the collarbone.
Increasingly, researchers suggest that there are many more uses of the therapy for various conditions, such as, depression, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, migraine, cluster headaches and tinnitus.
Results of a study undertaken in 2000 revealed that certain recipients of DBS therapy had found some degree of relief from their tinnitus symptoms when the DBS units were turned on, and the study authors concluded that use of the technique in the treatment of tinnitus warranted further investigation.
Tinnitus compensation after noise induced hearing loss
Experts agree that the high-tech treatment that is DBS is extremely costly and not a procedure that would be undertaken lightly. For tinnitus sufferers it is likely to be some time before the treatment is generally available, however, the award of tinnitus compensation could help greatly with the cost of therapy that might be of benefit in each individual case.
