Slight noise induced hearing loss (Up to £5,300)
You could be awarded up to £5,300 as compensation for suffering slight levels of noise induced hearing loss caused by your work environment.
Noise induced hearing loss is also known as industrial deafness. It is hearing loss caused by damage to your hearing from being repeatedly exposed to excessively loud sounds.

If your employer has failed to supply you with appropriate hearing protection, then you could be entitled to claim for hearing loss.
