Hearing Loss Medical Negligence Claims
If you or a loved one are struggling with the impact of hearing loss due to medical negligence, contact Glynns Solicitors. It may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
The impact of loss of hearing
The loss of one's hearing can be devastating. Not only affecting a person's ability to interact with, respond to and enjoy aural stimuli, it can have a significant impact on their ability to function on a daily basis. It may affect someone's sense of balance and their safety, even within their own home. It may also affect their ability to work, to drive and to travel. This can lead to significant financial losses, not only due to loss of income but also due to any support needs.
The psychological impact can also be difficult to come to terms with, requiring on-going therapeutic support.
Causes of hearing loss
Where the hearing loss is due to poor-quality surgery, it may require the affected person to undergo further surgical procedures in order to rectify the problem. It may be that their hearing loss is total or partial, temporary or permanent with varying degrees of associated dysfunction and difficulties.
Hearing loss may also be attributable to incorrect prescription or administration of medication which may also be regarded as negligent.
A delay in diagnosis of a brain tumour may also mean that the patient is left with, amongst other problems, some degree of hearing loss.
If hearing loss leads to on-going problems and financial losses, it might be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
Claiming compensation
A successful compensation claim can provide recompense not only for pain and suffering but for the financial losses incurred such as income losses, the costs of care and accommodation adaptations for example.
Medical negligence compensation claims can, however, be lengthy and complex, requiring the input of a wide variety of medical experts as well as the attention of specialist solicitors.
