When is it Possible to Claim Compensation for Deafness?
Deafness is a disorder that affects the ability to hear. There are several types of deafness; these include conductive, sensorineural and neural deafness. There are also several ranges of deafness such as mild, moderate, severe and profound. Whatever kind of deafness you are suffering from, we are here for you.
You must begin your claim for deafness compensation within three years of the date of your accident. If you allow more time to lapse, you may find that your claim for compensation is invalid. Here at Tylers Solicitors, we would always recommend that you file your claim for deafness compensation at your earliest possible convenience. This also makes it much easier to gather physical evidence to support your claim. If you are unsure about dates or wish to discuss the confidential details of your claim with a specialist, call us today.
Can I Claim for Deafness Sustained at Work?
Yes – you can claim for deafness suffered at work. Arguably one of the most common workplace personal injuries, deafness and hearing loss is often sustained as the result of a poorly managed working environment. Such locations are usually manufacturing facilities, engineering plants, warehouses, and the likes. It is the responsibility of your employer to protect employees against any risks, and to ensure that the correct health and safety measures are in place. If you have suffered from hearing loss at work, you can file a claim against your employer for their negligence. Contact us today to begin your claim for deafness compensation.
How Much Compensation Could I Claim For Deafness?
The pay-outs for hearing loss or deafness vary greatly between different claims. The compensation awarded typically depends on how severe the deafness is as well as any other suffering or pain caused due to the loss. How your deafness occurred and whether your employer was aware of the risks are also factors taken into consideration. Your age will also be taken into consideration with older people required to prove that their hearing loss is not due to old age but due to negligence from the employer. The deafness compensation claim amount does vary according to the severity of deafness.
Typically, the hearing loss claim can start from £5,000. The compensation for total deafness in one ear can range from £17,000 to around £25,000 or thereabouts. For those who have completely lost the ability to hear in both years, the compensation amount can range between £50,000 and £75,000. These figures are not static and can even go up.
In one severe case in London, a former telecom engineer with BT was paid £90,000 as compensation. Other industries where compensation claims usually emanate from include pubs and clubs, woodworking, general fabrication, canning or bottling, military, road repair, metal pressing and stamping, steel works, demolition, ship building etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tylers a No-Win, No-Fee Deafness Compensation Claims Solicitor?
With years of experience in making deafness compensation claims, we do have one the best success records around. This way, you can have some peace of mind as you don’t pay us until we win the claim. This means that if your claim for deafness compensation is unsuccessful, you do not have to pay us for our legal services.
What Is The Process Of Making a Deafness Compensation Claim?
Contrary to popular belief, making your claim is not tedious nor is it time-consuming for any solicitor. In the UK, The Control of Noise at Work Regulations are there to protect the hearing of those who are employed in a noisy environment where the noise levels is above 85 decibels, in the event that you have been exposed to these levels of noise without the correct protection offered then you can make a claim.
You don’t necessarily need to have the dates and records before contacting us, the solicitor who takes on the claim will do all the hard work. The first step is usually to speak to us so that we can ask you a few questions to gauge your suitability. If you qualify, the next step involves having your hearing tested. This is usually done by an audiologist who not only determines the severity of your deafness but they can also advise on the cause of the hearing loss. Once the test has been completed and the results provided, the solicitor will review the same and make a final decision whether to proceed with the claim or not.
Typically, the amount of time a claim takes to process does vary from anything between six months and eighteen months; this is usually dependent on the complexity of the case.
How Long Do I Have to Make a Deafness Compensation Claim?
There is a three-year limit for filing a hearing loss claim. It is important to note that these 3 years commence from the date you are made aware of the problem. It is also worth mentioning that you can be able to make a claim against a company you no longer work for that particular company or even go ahead and make a claim from more than one past employer.
You can also file a claim against your former employer even if they have gone out of business; this is because all employers must pay for liability insurance in order to compensate any claims made against them.
