Hearing loss
San Diego workplace hearing loss attorney
Years of workplace noise can cause permanent hearing loss. We help workers pursue the compensation they are entitled to.
Help with workplace hearing loss
Hearing loss is common among people who have worked in loud industries, and it can qualify for workers' compensation when the workplace is the cause. Benefits can help with medical evaluation, hearing aids, and related costs.
Because hearing loss often develops gradually, the timing of a claim can be tied to when you first noticed your symptoms. If you have recently been diagnosed, it is worth getting your situation reviewed even if your exposure happened years ago.
Getting your claim started
As soon as you have a medical diagnosis, contact us to begin the claim process. We help document your hearing loss and its connection to your work, and we deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Common questions
Hearing loss FAQs
Can I claim workers' compensation for hearing loss?
If your hearing loss was caused by your work, it can qualify for workers' compensation. This includes gradual hearing loss from long-term exposure to workplace noise, not just sudden injuries.
What if my noise exposure was years ago?
Hearing loss claims are often tied to when you became aware of the condition rather than when the exposure occurred. If you were recently diagnosed, you may still be within the time to file. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
What benefits might I receive?
Benefits can include medical evaluation and treatment, hearing aids, and disability benefits depending on the severity and the effect on your ability to work.

Verified 5-star Google reviews. Patrick Hollingsworth is named throughout.
Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
