Industrial Settings: Individuals working in industrial environments may encounter proximity to loud machinery and equipment.
Gunshots and Explosions: Those exposed to firearm use or explosive activities are at risk.

These sounds, close to the ear, can lead to Acoustic Shock Disorder (ASD), resulting in hearing loss, tinnitus, and other health issues. If you’ve experienced ASD due to workplace factors, contact Stanworth Law at 01282 911 119 to explore compensation options.
