Establishing fault for diagnosed industrial deafness at a particular workplace rather another in today’s ‘loud’ world, is deemed very necessary, as hearing loss compensation cases will revolve around issues of proving employer negligence.
Hearing loss accounts for three quarters of all workplace injury claims and industrial deafness, with a long history of excessive noise, is still considered a persistent and frequent experience for many workers in manufacturing sectors.
