Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL): The most common form of industrial deafness, NIHL is caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise. This type of hearing loss can be gradual, making it difficult to notice until significant damage has occurred.
To better understand NIHL, it’s important to distinguish between occupational and recreational noise exposure:
Occupational NIHL: This occurs due to exposure to loud noises in the workplace. Employees in industries such as construction, manufacturing, mining, and entertainment are often exposed to high levels of noise from machinery, tools, and equipment. Prolonged exposure without adequate hearing protection can lead to permanent hearing damage. Occupational NIHL is significant because it may entitle workers to compensation or support under workplace safety regulations and workers’ compensation schemes.
This type of hearing loss results from exposure to loud sounds during leisure activities. Common sources include listening to music at high volumes through headphones, attending concerts, motor sports, hunting, or using power tools at home. While equally damaging, recreational NIHL typically falls outside the scope of workplace-related claims and is often the individual’s responsibility to manage and prevent.
Both forms of NIHL contribute to overall hearing loss, and awareness is key to prevention and early intervention. If you suspect you are experiencing hearing loss from any source, it is important to seek a professional hearing assessment promptly.
This is a temporary form of hearing loss resulting from short-term exposure to loud noise. With rest and avoidance of further noise exposure, hearing can often return to normal.
Unlike TTS, this type of hearing loss is permanent and results from prolonged exposure to loud noise. Once the damage is done, it cannot be reversed.
This is something we’ll find out for you once we know a few details about the job you were doing and your hearing loss symptoms. The first step is to contact us to check your eligibility and book in a free hearing test that will look at whether the damage relates to loud noise exposure while you were at work.
The first step is to chat to one of our friendly Hear My Claim agents who will explain everything and book you in for your free hearing test at the clinic closest to you.
That needn’t be a problem. In fact, many people Hear My Claim help are retired and still entitled to make a claim. So, even if you left the job that caused your hearing loss several years ago, you may still be entitled to workplace hearing loss compensation.
Leave the proof to us — it’s our expertise. We provide a complimentary hearing examination to discern if you’re experiencing industrial deafness.
Some high frequency hearing damage can only be caused by specific, high-pitch noises like a jack hammer, buzzsaw or welder.
