According to data gathered by a Canadian Occupational Safety and Health study, a potentially new source of hearing damage risk may have been revealed by a hazardous, environmental combination.
In the UK alone, findings indicate that 19 per cent of men and 13 per cent of women above 16 years of age experience varying degrees of hearing loss and over 7.5 million people suffer some form of more serious hearing damage.
Recent research figures have found that around 55 million or approximately, sixteen percent of adult Europeans suffer from hearing loss significant enough to cause a negative affect in their daily life. The study also shows that about 71 million adults aged 18 to 80 years have a hearing loss greater than 25 dB, indicative of having sustained hearing damage, yet, only one in six use hearing aids.

In the aftermath, once accident liability is established a compensation case can be embarked upon.
