Taking a hearing test will necessarily form a part of the claims process for noise induced hearing loss. Different methods exist and seeking advice for hearing damage will require undertaking the requisite procedures.
Being unaware that a loud noise in the workplace can cause permanent hearing damage may not exclude claiming compensation based on the date of first knowing of the hearing loss and its cause.
Even relatively low levels of noise can cause problems under certain circumstances. Irritating background noise causes stress resulting in an increased metabolic rate and lowering an individual’s resistance to noise, which can lead to noise induced hearing loss.
In 2009, the HSE completed a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of hearing protectors in everyday work situations. The report looked at various industries including printers, a bottling plant, metal fabricated buildings manufacturers, sheet metal workshops and a County Council.
