What Is Noise Induced Hearing Loss
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a type of hearing loss that is caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises. It can occur in various workplaces and environments where high noise levels are present. If you have suffered from NIHL due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Causes of Noise Induced Hearing Loss
NIHL can be caused by exposure to loud noises over an extended period. Common sources of loud noises include machinery, construction sites, concerts, and explosions. These loud noises can damage the hair cells in the inner ear, leading to hearing loss.
Legal Implications
Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment for their employees, including protection from excessive noise levels. If an employer fails to take adequate measures to prevent NIHL in the workplace, they may be liable for compensation claims.
