The causes of industrial hearing loss
If you are employed or have previously been employed in a noisy environment, your industrial deafness or hearing loss may have been caused by exposure to excessive noise levels at work.
Work-related hearing problems can take years to develop, even if you have been exposed to loud noise for a while. Therefore, you may not automatically associate the damage with your working conditions.
At Treadstone Law we can help you with every step of your claim. We have a wealth of experience successfully acting on behalf of those who have been affected by noise induced hearing loss and other industrial diseases.

Our specialist solicitors helped Mr S from Bolton, who worked as a coal miner for 12 years in Salford. As a result he had developed high tone deafness meaning he couldn’t hear the TV properly and missed words in conversation.
No admission of liability was forthcoming although a low offer was received, which we argued was unacceptable. Following our advice we were able to issue court proceedings and we got him double what was originally offered. A good result all round!
