Hey there, I would like to know how much compensation I could be entitled to for misdiagnosis claims, resulting in me suffering from poor hearing.
The doctor told me some bad chronic ear ache pain I was having was something called mastoiditis and said I would require surgery in my ear to alleviate some of the problems, I was opposed to surgery on my ear as I was worried about hearing to start with.
I had a mastoidectomy, an operation to remove some parts of my inner ear, this left me with poor hearing, i had to have the operation but when i asked if i could have a hearing aid i was told this would not help.
Now am under a different hospital and consultant they are surprised at what happened and this makes me think I didn't have to walk around struggling to hear, half deaf all this time.
Would I be able to claim against my doctor for medical negligence for misdiagnosis?
How much compensation for loss of hearing as result of medical negligence misdiagnosis?
Than you all
