There are a raft of claims going in against Eircom by ex employees whose hearing was damaged/impaired by having an ear-piece attached to their ears while working.
The noise of coins dropping into the coin boxs was particularly trouble-some
to the telephonists.
Whats next for a claim out there then?......."Eh the trainer said that doing them push-ups/sprints would make me fitter,now me back's wrecked:rolleyes: "
Read that as well. Joe Soap taxpayer will fit the bill too. Apparently they didn't even know had lost hearing in one ear until they were tested :rolleyes: FFS everyone gradually loses their hearing as they get older. I wonder can they prove not been to rock concert, stood next to jackhammer etc...?
