Traumatic Hearing Loss

Although many people associate hearing loss with old age, trauma can cause damage to one’s hearing, leading to partial or total hearing loss. Such damage may be temporary or permanent.

An ear injury can have severe and lasting consequences. It can cause:

• Partial or total hearing loss

These symptoms can affect one’s job, relationships, and every aspect of life. These are the reasons our attorneys are so passionate about fighting for the rights of ear injury and hearing loss victims.
