ENT expert medico-legal reports
Independent ear, nose and throat reports from GMC-registered consultant ENT surgeons, covering noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus and ENT injury, prepared to CPR Part 35 standards for courts in England and Wales.
Hearing loss is one of the oldest industrial injuries and still one of the most contested. Expert Medical arranges independent reports from GMC-registered consultant ENT surgeons covering noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, and injury to the ear, nose and throat, with audiometry interpreted by a specialist who can say whether the pattern of loss fits noise exposure or something else.
Solicitors instruct ENT evidence in industrial disease claims for noise-induced hearing loss, and in accident claims involving head injury, facial trauma or airway damage, while insurers rely on the same reports to distinguish occupational loss from age-related change. Every report is prepared to CPR Part 35, with the expert's overriding duty owed to the court.
NIHL read by specialists
Noise-induced hearing loss has a recognisable audiometric signature, and distinguishing it from age-related loss is the central argument in most claims. Our consultant ENT surgeons interpret the audiogram against the claimant's noise history and say, with reasons, how much of the loss the occupational exposure explains.
Tinnitus taken seriously
Tinnitus cannot be seen on a scan, which makes careful expert assessment the only route to fair evidence. The report records how the tinnitus presents, how it affects sleep, concentration and work, and whether its onset and character are consistent with the noise exposure or injury alleged.
Beyond hearing
ENT covers more than hearing loss. We arrange reports on nasal fracture and airway obstruction after assault or accident, balance and vestibular symptoms following head injury, voice and swallowing problems, and sinus or throat complications of treatment, each prepared by a consultant working in the relevant area.
Hearing loss claims turn on the detail
An audiogram is a page of numbers until a specialist explains it. Our ENT reports set out what the hearing test shows, what the noise history supports and where the two diverge, so solicitors and insurers can see the strength of a claim before it is argued.
