This is an interesting story, as I've been wearing two hearing aids for the past seven years, due to work induced hearing damage. I've spent all of my career (20 years in August 2016) doing corporate AV (conferences, awards shows, product launches, exhibition) & through the years of exposure to loud noise (mainly awards shows) my hearing has been damaged to the point that the audiology consultant has said that my auditory nerve basically acts like a 40dB drop on a normal hearing level, effectively like put a pad on a channel. I've had contact with these "no-win-no-fee" companies & given them all the info, but neither have ever come back to me with a view to following up on a claim. When you're op-ing graphics from FoH or doing camera op or followspot op on an awards show it's a bit difficult to do wearing earplugs! Pity I can't seem to claim, as a few grand would be very handy! :-)
