WE Solicitors start Don't Suffer in Silence Campaign

Over the last two weeks we have been campaigning in Wigan and Burnley raising awareness of our "Don't Suffer in Silence Campaign".

Noise induced hearing loss sufferer, Allan Dewhurst, wins settlement of over £2,200.00 through WE Solicitors.

The British Tinnitus Association and the National Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing (NBRUH) are inviting people to take part in an online survey which will ask questions about tinnitus, a short term or permanent hearing loss condition affecting around 10 per cent of the UK adult population.

A recent US study has found exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke can double the likelihood of causing hearing loss among teens and young adults. The results could also have implications for the many thousands of workers either near to or have recently taken retirement.

Research suggesting that the severity of a tinnitus condition is related to the level of noise-induced hearing loss has been found in past studies, which detected a significant hearing loss of the high frequencies in over 80 per cent of chronic tinnitus sufferers.

Surveys consistently find that many men and women can often fail to recognise the onset of noise induced hearing loss by up to ten years after spending a number of years constantly exposed to significantly loud noise levels at their place of work.
