What is industrial deafness?

Industrial deafness, also known as occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL), is a significant health concern that results from exposure to high levels of noise in the workplace. If you’ve suffered hearing loss due to workplace conditions, you may have a right to claim compensation.

Industrial deafness typically develops over time, often after years of exposure to loud machinery, equipment, or environments with excessive noise levels.
