£4,500 for manual worker with noise-induced hearing loss

At 50, this client was relatively young to have developed noise-induced hearing loss. However, after working as both a road worker and a machine operator, Mr R’s hearing was permanently damaged. In his role as a road maintenance worker, Mr R used a jackhammer to break into concrete, with no hearing protection provided. In another role, as a machine operator, he was tasked to cut through aluminium sheets using a loud cutting machine, whilst in close proximity to several other machines. The four years’ exposure caused him to suffer hearing loss and he approached us for assistance. We helped Mr R to secure £4,500 in compensation.
