Signs & Symptoms of Industrial Deafness

Misunderstanding People

People with hearing loss often find it difficult to engage in conversations with multiple people and struggle to understand what is being said.

Ringing, Hissing or Buzzing

Another sign of hearing loss is the sound of ringing, hissing, buzzing, clicking, roaring or drilling in your ear(s).

Turning up the TV

Do you often find people telling you to turn down the TV or Radio, but you can just about hear it? You may be suffering from hearing loss.

Dish, Wish, Hiss

Words that end with s, h, h, or th are suddenly much harder to make out if they are heard at all. speaking may often sound muffled.

Increased Stress

Feeling tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening during conversations is very common with hearing loss.

Social Situations

Avoidance of social situations due to trouble hearing what’s going on around you is a sign that your hearing may be deteriorating.

Making Your Industrial Deafness Claim

Our mission is to ensure that all clients can pursue justice without the concern of financial hardship.

If you believe that your hearing-related condition – whether deafness, hearing loss, or tinnitus – may be attributable to your workplace environment or exposure to excessive noise, our firm is prepared to assist you.

Industrial Deafness Claim Experts

At Lincoln Lewis, we understand the significant and often long-term impact that hearing impairment can have on an individual’s quality of life. Such conditions may develop gradually as a result of prolonged exposure to loud machinery, construction tools, or other industrial equipment, or may arise suddenly. The severity of hearing loss can vary widely and may affect one or both ears.

To ensure an accurate assessment of your condition, we facilitate a complimentary evaluation by a certified medical practitioner as part of the claims process. This enables a clear determination of the extent of the injury sustained and supports the proper advancement of your claim.
