Tinnitus compensation claims
Tinnitus is the hearing of noises in the ears which sounds like ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling, humming or roaring. It is caused by noisy working environments without the use of proper hearing protection and can occur over a long period of time or suddenly.
Tinnitus Symptoms

It is worth mentioning that stress and/or ear wax build up can worsen tinnitus.
How does tinnitus differ to industrial deafness?
Tinnitus is often grouped together with industrial deafness but the main differences are that industrial deafness is 'difficulty in hearing' properly, often not being able to hear people talking around you. And tinnitus is ringing/buzzing in one or both ears often resulting in difficulty in sleeping at night.
