Noise-induced hearing loss (industrial deafness) Claims in Belfast & Northern Ireland (NI)

The Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 obligates your employer to take all reasonable steps towards protecting your hearing at work. If they fail to meet this obligation, you might be owed compensation.

You can make a claim within three years of a diagnosis of noise induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Even if the damage to your hearing was caused many years ago, you may still be able to claim compensation.

The level of compensation you could expect to receive for noise induced hearing loss is dependent upon the level of hearing loss and/or tinnitus.

What is noise-induced hearing loss?

Noise-induced hearing loss is an industrial disease that reduces the ability to hear. It is contracted at work and is caused by consistent excessive noise and a lack of hearing protection. In many instances, hearing loss symptoms do not emerge for years after exposure to a loud environment.
