Prolonged exposure to excessive noise in the workplace can lead to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) — a permanent, preventable condition that affects thousands of workers across the UK. If your hearing has been damaged due to unsafe noise levels at work, you may be entitled to compensation.

At Inson Legal, I represent individuals in Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Manchester, throughout Greater Manchester and Nationwide, including clients who have suffered hearing loss because their employer failed to protect them. I offer No Win No Fee legal support, meaning there’s no financial risk to starting your claim.

What is Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)?

NIHL is a form of permanent hearing damage caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise, often in the workplace. It typically develops gradually and may go unnoticed at first, but over time can lead to:

• Difficulty hearing conversations

• Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears)

• Increased sensitivity to sound

• Permanent reduction in hearing ability

You may have a valid claim if you worked in a noisy environment without proper ear protection, especially in industries such as:

• Construction

• Manufacturing

• Engineering

• Mining or heavy industry

• Transport or aviation

Employer Responsibilities and Common Failings

Under The Control of Noise At Work Regulations 2005 (Noise Regulations 2005), employers have a legal duty to:

• Assess noise levels in the workplace

• Provide adequate hearing protection

• Implement noise-reduction measures

• Offer regular hearing tests to at-risk employees

If your employer failed in any of these duties, and you now suffer from hearing loss, you may be entitled to compensation for your injury and its impact on your life.

How NIHL Affects Your Life

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears — it affects your relationships, your ability to work, and your overall wellbeing. People living with NIHL may also experience:

• Social isolation due to communication difficulties

• Reduced job prospects or forced early retirement

• Sleep disruption from tinnitus

• Emotional distress, anxiety, or depression

Compensation can help cover medical expenses, hearing aids, lost earnings, and the overall impact on your quality of life.
