Description

Action instituted pursuant to section 102.23, Stats., by the plaintiff Green Bay Drop Forge Company (hereinafter referred to as the 'employer') and its insurance carrier to review an interlocutory order of the industrial commission dated July 28, 1952, awarding workmen's compensation to the defendant Albert Wojcik (hereinafter referred to as the 'employee'). The employee, who was born April 4, 1891, commenced to work for the employer on March 14, 1945, and as far as the record discloses is still so employed. On November 2, 1951, the employee filed with the industrial commission his application for workmen's compensation alleging that he had sustained a partial permanent loss of hearing caused by excessive noise while in the employ of the employer. During all the period the employee had been so employed he had worked in the drop forge department of the employer. There were many drop forge hammers in operation in such department, and at the hearing held upon the application counsel for the employer and its insurance carrier stipulated 'that there was sound in the drop forge plant above which was adequate to produce damage to the ear if the man [the employee] continued in that sound long enough.' The two expert medical witnesses were agreed that the employee had sustained loss of hearing in both ears, both physicians attributed such loss of hearing to the employment in the employer's plant, and both considered the loss of hearing to be permanent.
