If you have hearing loss or tinnitus and believe it may be service-related, BLZ Solicitors are here to support you.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) occurs when excessive noise damages the delicate hair cells within the inner ear. Unfortunately, this damage is permanent. For many people, the effects are not immediately noticeable and may only become apparent later in life as natural age-related hearing changes develop. Hearing loss is often recognised gradually, sometimes many years after a person has left a noisy working environment.

Noise exposure can also lead to noise-induced tinnitus. Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sounds in the ears when there is no external source. People often describe this as ringing, buzzing, or whooshing, although it can take many different forms. For some individuals it occurs occasionally, while for others it may be constant.

BLZ Solicitors have significant experience in handling claims for NIHL and noise-induced tinnitus. The firm’s Partners have worked on both sides of these claims, representing claimants from a wide range of employment backgrounds, including handling claims involving military service.

If you would like to discuss whether you may be eligible to make a claim, or if you have questions about the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS), please get in touch with an advisor for an initial conversation.
