How to tell if you have suffered maritime work related hearing loss

How do you know if you’ve suffered hearing loss due to being around loud equipment for years at a time working offshore or on a vessel? That’s a question that a lot of potential clients ask us. How do I know if my hearing loss is due to the heavy equipment and the loud equipment I worked around? Well, there is a very simple and very short test that can be done that will determine that. This is called an audiological evaluation. The pattern in your audiological evaluation will generally tell you whether or not your hearing loss is related to the loud noises that you worked around offshore or on vessels. This is a very simple, very short test that our office can arrange for you.

If you worked around loud equipment offshore on oil rigs or on vessels, call our office. You may have suffered hearing loss and we can perform a simple test which will tell us that. We can then discuss your right, choices and options with you.
