Siren hearing loss stems from long-term exposure to the sirens on the transportation vehicles that firefighters and emergency medical services technicians operate. Over a typical 20-year career, firefighters and EMS workers will suffer significant hearing loss as a result of their proximity to Class A sirens, the product most often used on fire engines, trucks and ambulances.
Studies report that Class A sirens produce 120 decibels within a 10-foot radius. For comparison purposes, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that anyone regularly exposed to sound levels above 70 decibels risks serious and irreversible hearing damage.
Hearing loss as a result of long-term exposure to sirens is both frustrating and disheartening to those who built their career in the firefighting or emergency medical services. A compassionate and experienced attorney can help you recover expenses incurred from medical costs, and bring those responsible for your condition to justice.
