The hearing test takes just 10 minutes to conduct.
From the day you are diagnosed with any hearing issues you have just 3 years to make a claim.
If your case is not successful, there are no fees to pay. If the case is successful, the solicitors are only able to charge 25% of the total amount awarded to you.
We are able to claim for people whose only noise exposure is limited to the military as long as you served 5 years or more after 1987. If the military exposure was pre 1987 then subtract the amount of years you served in the military from the amount of years you worked in alternative noisy workplaces and ensure you are still left with at least 5 years’ exposure at the alternative companies. If you are still unsure as to whether you qualify please contact a member of our team who will be happy to assist further.
Our experienced specialists will take no longer than 10 minutes on the phone to establish your work history and build your case file.
