The amount of compensation for hearing damage, is obviously dependent on the degree of your disability and if your deafness affects your ability to work or to obtain work . Every different case is assessed individually with consideration attached to whether your noise induced hearing loss is partial or total, affecting one or both of your ears and whether you suffer from tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Recent statistics for noise induced hearing loss in the workplace show a hidden undertow of work inflicted hearing damage, that all too often is overlooked, officially discounted or disregarded when making a claim for disability or compensation.
