Many people who suffer from hearing loss have been exposed to noise at work, and may be entitled to compensation for Noise Induced Hearing Loss. Although hearing loss can be caused by many things, hearing loss which is caused by direct exposure to noise is very common.
If you work or have worked in noisy jobs such as factories, airports, building sites or any job where you are exposed to noise from machines, and have noticed a deterioration in your hearing, you may be entitled to compensation under the Return to Work Act 2014. Compensation for Noise Induced Hearing Loss includes:-
- Lump sum payment for pain and suffering.
- Payment of medical expenses, including for hearing aids.
- Income maintenance payments if you cannot work due to the level of hearing loss.
You are able to make a claim for compensation for Noise Induced Hearing Loss, if you are currently working or stopped working some time ago.
