Hearing loss claims

An ear injury may involve some degree of hearing loss, or physical damage to the actual outer ear. The ear has three specific parts: the inner ear, the middle ear which contains the ear drum, and the outside ear which is visible. If damage occurs to any of the internal ear structures it could result in a ringing noise (tinnitus) or deafness.

Hearing loss can be a frustrating injury, making social interactions quite difficult. Acquiring hearing loss unexpectedly can be challenging and lead to a feeling of social isolation, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.

Causes of ear damage & hearing loss

• Industrial Deafness
• Work Accidents
• Head Injury
• Serious Road Traffic Accidents
• Criminal Assault

Many of the hearing loss claims that Express Solicitors handle, have occurred as a result of long-term exposure to loud noise during the course of employment. If this is the case, please visit our Industrial Deafness page.
