Absence of Ear Protection causes hearing loss

Posted on May 06^th 2008

A woman who made a claim against noise induced hearing loss has received £4,000 in compensation.

The noise that she suffered was from textile machinery where she worked as a doffer in a textile mill from 1964 - 1967, without any ear protection.

The employer went out of business some time ago, however the claim was quickly settled after the lawyers managed to trace the insurers of the company.
