Understanding Industrial Hearing Loss and How We Can Help

Industrial hearing loss is a common challenge for many who have worked in noisy environments over long periods. At IHS (Industrial Hearing Services), we specialise in understanding the unique needs of individuals affected by noise-induced hearing loss from industrial work. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate your hearing health and explore potential support options available to you.

Who Might Be Eligible for Compensation?

If you’ve worked in a noisy environment for several years and have experienced a decline in your hearing, you might be wondering if you are eligible for compensation. While specific criteria can vary, our team at IHS is here to help you understand the basics.

To assess your situation, we’ll ask a few preliminary questions during your initial consultation, such as:

  • Your work history and the type of environments you’ve worked in.
  • How long you’ve been working in industries with high noise levels.
  • Whether you are or were an employee or a subcontractor in those settings.

These questions help us understand the potential impact of workplace noise on your hearing.
