Hi, we have a new staff member working in our cleanroom and he has just told me he suffers from tinnitus. He made HR aware when accepting the postion but they never thought to pass this information on! We regularly measure the noise in our cleanroom and it well below the action level but there is a constant hum from a few bits of equipment. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this in the past and how I can possibly assits our new staff member. Thanks

You could ask the new employee what happened in past employments to ease the tinnitus like playing music while he works.

People have differing experiences of their tinnitus so I agree the best thing is to ask the employee what they find helps them.

Sorry but why would/should they?
You may find this to be a case of GDPR - you do not disclose everyone's medical maladies.
