Although it can easily be confused with actual deafness an incorrect claim often made for tinnitus tinnitus is not in fact a form of deafness but is a hearing-related condition which alters a sufferer's perception of noise, increasing the perception of internal noise while simultaneously diminishing perception of external noise.
Because of this way that the condition reduces a sufferer's ability to hear the sound of the world around them, tinnitus can be termed a form of practical deafness, as distinct from industrial deafness, noise-induced hearing loss or acoustic shock.
However, this reduced capacity to make sense of the external auditory environment is not the only reason that sufferers of the hearing-related condition will be able to make a civil claim for tinnitus compensation.
One of the major reasons that many will proceed with litigation is because of the way their tinnitus becomes an irritating and psychological discomforting omnipresent in their lives. Its symptom of a constant ringing, buzzing, pulsing, or whistling sensation in the ears can become, in the words of one sufferer, "a source of great mental pain – like having a fly trapped inside your ear, always buzzing unable to get out."
As such, compensation claims for the condition are typically made in order to provide sufferers with recognition of its considerable psychological impact; depression, sleeplessness and a reduced quality of social and family life are frequent complaints of the tinnitus claimant.
A spokesperson with industrial illness solicitor firm YouClaim comments, "In itself, tinnitus is not a form of deafness, but it can be manifest as such.
"The compensation settlements we achieve for our clients are paid in recognition of the set of symptoms they suffer from and the impact this has had on their professional and personal lives. The fact it is not actually a form of deafness does not make tinnitus any less worthy of compensation."
