How Much Industrial Deafness Compensation Are You Due?

The level of compensation depends on the degree of hearing loss that you have suffered. There are some very loose guidelines which we can provide online, though, which you can see below. It goes without saying that until we have consulted with you, it’s impossible to say what your industrial hearing loss claim could be worth.

  • £50,000 to £70,000 – Complete hearing loss in both ears (depending on speech deficit or possible tinnitus)
  • £17,500 to £29,000 – Complete hearing loss in one ear (depending on tinnitus as an associated condition)
  • £16,000 to £29,000 – Serious hearing loss with severe tinnitus
  • £8,000 to £15,000 – Moderate tinnitus and/or hearing loss
  • £4,000 to £7,000 – Slight or occasional hearing loss and/or tinnitus

We have helped people around in Bolton on all degrees of that scale. Please only consider it an estimate, though, as we cannot guide you correctly until such time we have assessed your case for industrial hearing loss compensation.

Claiming for Industrial Deafness Against a Current Employer

It is the legal duty of your employer to make sure that their staff and employees are adequately protected from harm and noise pollution. If you have worked, or currently work, in proximity to loud machinery or tools, then the company you work for should take the necessary steps to reduce risk of you developing hearing problems. UK law states that they should:

  • Take action to reduce noise exposure
  • Provide protective equipment
  • Ensure legal limits of noise exposure aren’t exceeded
  • Monitor and maintain equipment/machinery
  • Provide health and safety information and training
  • Carry out health surveillance on employers at risk

If you have concerns about taking legal action or making a hearing loss claim against your current employer, then please be aware that they will be insured against this possibility. This means that any compensation will be taken from their insurance policies, and not their pocket. UK employment law is also set-up to make sure that companies and businesses cannot discriminate against their employees who decide to make claims.
