Deafness, or hearing loss caused by your working environment? Claim Compensation!
Workers who have been exposed to excessive noise levels will develop symptoms which show that their hearing has been affected. The following check list of symptoms and effects could help to recognize industrial deafness.
Common complaints from hearing loss:
- Do other people seem to mumble rather than speak clearly to you?
- Ringing, buzzing, whistling or hissing in your ears.
- Do people often have to repeat things for you before you understand what they say?
- Do you have difficulty understanding what is being said in noisy places, such as pubs or restaurants, although other people manage to have conversations?
- When you are talking to people in a group, is it hard to keep up with the conversation?
- Do you find it tiring to listen to conversations because you have to concentrate hard?
- Do other people think your television or music is too loud but you cannot hear it properly if they turn it down?
- Do you often have difficulty hearing on the telephone?
