Your employer is bound by a duty of care to prevent hearing loss where possible.

In occupations where exposure to noise is unavoidable employers must put in place appropriate safeguards, such as ensuring that employees have personal protective equipment. This includes the performance of risk assessments which are used to detect foreseeable hazards. It also includes the provision of training and the distribution of protective equipment to prevent hearing loss for employees. Common hearing problems that workers can develop include tinnitus, acoustic shock syndrome and occupational deafness. Such illnesses have been known to develop a long time after exposure and significantly disrupt the lives of victims.
