	NOISE INDUCED HEARING LOSS The fact of the matter is that in many cases the deafness is an industrial injury caused by years of working in noisy environments or with loud tools or machinery. Remarkably, because hearing loss is often a gradual process and may impair only certain sound frequencies, many people don’t even realise they have a problem. It takes someone else to point out the telltale signs such as the TV or radio being loud. Others might struggle to hear in group conversation or even be accused of ignoring people - known, ironically, as ‘turning a deaf ear’. The industries you may have worked in… People employed in a wide range of industries can potentially suffer from noise induced hearing loss. Among these are: • Factory worker • Food and drink manufacturing • Steel fabrication and engineering • Motor vehicle repair • Woodworking • Industrial knitting • Mining and quarrying • Local authority groundsmen and forestry workers  • Paper and printing • Utility workers …or if you have used the following tools. Using any of the tools below can lead to hearing loss. • Breaker / Jigger pick • Impact drill • Stihl saw • Chipping hammer • Impact wrench • Orbital sander • Grinder   The compensation you deserve If you have suffered noise induced hearing loss through your work, the blame may lie with employers who knew of the potential dangers and did nothing to safeguard workers.
