Industrial deafness
Industrial deafness (also referred to as occupational deafness or noise-induced hearing loss) is a condition that results in the loss of hearing due to an individual’s working environment. It can include permanent symptoms or can exist over a prolonged period of time.
Work injury claims
All employers have a duty of care to ensure the overall safety of the workplace. They are required to make sure it’s free from the risk of an accident or injury by ensuring:
- Competent workers are employed
- Equipment provided to workers complies with safety requirements
- They provide adequate clothing and safety equipment when required
- All staff are properly trained and supervised
If you have suffered industrial deafness due to your working environment caused by a breach of one of the above duties you may be eligible to make a compensation claim for personal injury in the workplace.
Levels of compensation
The amount of compensation you may be able to claim for industrial deafness depends on several factors including:
- Whether the hearing damage is partial or total
- If you suffer from tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- If the hearing loss is in one or both ears
The following is just a guide as to the levels of compensation available for pain and suffering:
Level of hearing loss |
Potential compensation |
| Some hearing loss with occasional tinnitus | £4,800 – £8,000 |
| Hearing loss and more serious tinnitus | £8,000 – £19,000 |
| More serious hearing loss and severe tinnitus | £19,000 – £30,000 |
| Total hearing loss in one ear with tinnitus | £19,000 – £30,000 |
| Total hearing loss in both ears with tinnitus | up to £70,000 |
Your personal injury compensation claim may also involve a claim for lost wages, travel expenses, medication and any other reasonable expenses which have been incurred as a result of the accident. This will depend on the individual circumstances of your case.
