Dear Natalie,
Mr Short was employed by Goodyear at their Wolverhampton site, from 1961 to 1999. He was employed as a tyre cureman for the majority of this time, in Department 251D, Building 44. He was exposed to the noise of tyre presses, steam and air leaks, bladder explosions, rolling machines, calendar machines and tyre building machines.

Mrs Susan F wins a £3,000 payout on behalf of the estate of her husband Denis who sadly died before his hearing loss claim was resolved. Denis worked as a Back Man/Knotter for Carrington and Dewhurst Limited from 1965 to 1971 and Dorma (CV Home Furnishings Ltd) from 1973 to 1983. He was based in the weaving shed where he was exposed to excessive noise from the looms and it was his job to change the beams.
According to a 2009 study into the effects of hearing loss, often caused by exposure to excessive noise levels, and how the body copes with a reduced sensory function, the brains of adult animals with a hearing deficiency appeared to re-route the sense of touch into the brain area that processes hearing.
