Hearing Loss Claim Specialists
If you have suffered loss of hearing as a direct result of another person’s negligence, including a failure to provide adequate protective equipment or a failure to take action to reduce the noise, then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Unfortunately, there are many cases of hearing loss and hearing damage caused by conditions in the workplace.
If you have suffered hearing damage or loss because of a noisy workplace, you may be eligible to make a hearing loss claim for compensation.
Losing your hearing can be a life-changing experience, affecting you not only physically, but also emotionally. If you have lost your hearing or have suffered damage to your hearing because of a working environment that was dangerously loud, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the suffering you have endured as a result of your hearing loss, as well as for any expenses you have had to pay out as a result, such as trips to hearing specialists and hearing aids.
In the UK, work-related hearing loss has been identified as the leading cause of adult-onset hearing loss, with the HSE estimating that almost 1 million people are currently working in dangerously loud environments. According to HSE statistics, between 2016 and 2019, 21,000 workers in Great Britain were diagnosed with work-related hearing loss.
If you work in noisy environments, your employer is legally required to protect your hearing from harm by reducing the volume wherever possible, offering health and safety training, and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as ear protectors. If your employer has failed to take care of your hearing health, you may be able to make a hearing damage personal injury claim.
Here at PSR Solicitors, our personal injury claim specialists are renowned for their expertise and specialism in the field of hearing loss claims and are on hand now to discuss your case.
We understand that launching a claim can be a daunting prospect, which is why we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Whether you’re keen to begin your case immediately or would like a friendly, no-obligation conversation beforehand, contact us today to speak to one of our compassionate, friendly, and dedicated hearing loss claim advisors.
I contacted PSR after hearing about their efficiency and expert knowledge. They charge a relatively small fee and made the process completely stress free.
If your claim for hearing damage or loss is successful, you will be awarded a lump sum that aims to compensate you for the suffering you have endured and any financial costs you have incurred as a result of your injury.
Predicting how much money you are likely to receive for a successful claim is difficult, but our compensation calculator can provide a generalised estimation.
Generally, the more severe the hearing loss, the more money the victim is likely to be awarded in court.

Paul Rossiter LLB (Hons)
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Since joining PSR Solicitors in March 2013 I opened and managed our Rhyl office and became head of the Personal Injury department shortly thereafter. I therefore have responsible for managing Person Injury cases throughout the firm. In January 2024 I relocated to our head office in Chester.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff. I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced Personal Injury Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex more serious injury claims.
Outside of work I enjoy running and hiking, going to the gym, travel, cooking and am a keen rugby fan.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation
Mark House LLB (Hons)
I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

Noisy working environments can cause dangerous damage to the complex structures that exist within our ears, disrupting the hearing process and resulting in hearing loss. Damage sustained to the cochlear hair cells can prevent sound waves from being transformed into electrical signals, which is problematic since only electrical signals can be passed to the brain via the auditory nerve. When the ears are constantly exposed to dangerous volumes of sound in the workplace, the hair cells can become overworked, which can cause them to die.
On average, the typical human being is born with 16,000 hair cells, but these cells have to last our entire lives. Unlike in other mammals, human cochlear cells cannot be replaced when they die, meaning that excessive sound has the potential to irreparably damage the internal mechanisms of the ear. As well as affecting the hair cells, excessive noise can also harm the auditory nerve (also known as the cochlear nerve) that transports the electrical signals produced by the hair cells to the brain. The auditory nerve is comprised of thousands of nerve cells which, if damaged, can die. As more and more nerve cells die, the functionality of the auditory nerve becomes increasingly reduced, and less electrical signals can be successfully carried to the brain. This means that information that should be passed to the brain for processing is lost, and the result is an inability to hear sounds around us properly.
Sadly, by the time damage to the ears' internal structures is noticed, it is already irreparable, and the consequences are therefore permanent. If your hearing has been affected by working in unacceptably loud working conditions, contact a member of our team today to find out whether you could be eligible to make a claim.
Although most cases of work-related hearing loss are caused by sustained damage to the hair cells and, sometimes, the auditory nerve, parts of the ear can also be caused through one-off instances of loud ‘impulse’ sounds, such as explosions. The intensity of such sounds can severely damage structures such as the eardrum, causing it to rupture. This kind of noise-induced hearing loss can be sudden and permanent. If you have been affected by this type of noise, speak to our team today to begin your claim.
Sometimes, exposure to impulse sounds or sustained loud noises can cause our hearing to be temporarily damaged. This can happen when the hair cells in the ear, which are usually sat in an upright position along the cochlear, are forced to ‘bend’ in response to the sound, like a blade of glass bending towards the sun. This ‘bend’ in the cell’s shape affects its ability to function properly, but only until the bend is resumed.
However, research shows that bouts of temporary deafness can have long-term consequences and may indicate the onset of a long-term problem.
As such, if your hearing has been affected in any way by work-place noise that you weren’t adequately protected against, you could be eligible for a claim; call us today to find out more.
The symptoms of hearing damage caused by noisy working environments usually becomes more and more noticeable as time passes and the cells in the ear continue to die from overstimulation and work.
Over time, you may notice that sounds are becoming more and more muffled; that you need to turn the television, radio, or phone volume up to enable you to hear clearly; or that you miss parts of conversations or struggle to distinguish speech sounds from other background noises.
The damage can be so extensive that hearing aids may be required to help alleviate the symptoms. If you have been affected by hearing loss to the extent that you require hearing aids and specialised intervention from audiologists, money raised through a compensation claim can help to cover the costs associated with such treatments and ensure that you are able to access the help you require.
Contact us today to begin your claim and receive the financial help you need.
