Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Many people don’t know that one of the most common injuries for oil workers is deafness. While explosions almost always cause deafness, working next to loud equipment for long periods of time can also lead to deafness.

Many workers begin experiencing hearing difficulties after a few weeks on the job. Although this hearing loss is most likely temporary and can be healed if the worker spends time away from the loud machinery, that is not an option. Workers have to show up for their jobs, even if it means facing more permanent hearing loss.

Noise-induced hearing loss is caused when sensitive structures inside our ears become damaged. These structures are called hair cells, and once they are destroyed, they cannot grow back. They are destroyed primarily because of loud noises that last for long periods of time.

If your hearing loss was caused by working around loud machinery or because of an explosion, you have a right to be compensated. Medical bills for hearing loss can be high, especially if hearing aids and other equipment is necessary.

A personal injury attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve for losing your hearing.
