A successful Moy Park hearing loss claim resulted in a £10,125.00 settlement for a former employee who developed noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus following years of exposure to excessive workplace noise.
Our client spent many years working in a busy poultry processing environment at Moy Park. Throughout his employment, he was regularly exposed to loud industrial noise generated by machinery and factory processes on a daily basis.
Although hearing protection was introduced later in his employment, our client had already spent many years working in noisy conditions. As a result, he developed hearing difficulties together with persistent ringing in his ears.
Over time, our client found it increasingly difficult to hear conversations, particularly in environments with background noise.
He also developed tinnitus, causing a constant ringing sensation in his ears. These symptoms began to affect his daily life and overall quality of life.
Concerned about his hearing, he sought medical advice and later contacted MMW Claims regarding a potential compensation claim.
We arranged for our client to be examined by a Consultant ENT Surgeon with expertise in occupational hearing loss.
The specialist confirmed that our client suffers from noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus. The medical evidence concluded that a significant proportion of his hearing damage had been caused by long-term workplace noise exposure during his employment in the poultry processing industry.
The Defendant also instructed an independent ENT expert who agreed that our client had sustained noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus consistent with occupational noise exposure.
Following legal proceedings and the exchange of medical evidence, the Moy Park hearing loss claim settled for £10,125.00, together with legal costs.
The settlement reflected how hearing difficulties and tinnitus affected our client's everyday life.
The parties resolved the claim without a full court hearing.
