Any person who suffers hearing loss as a result of their employment is entitled to make a claim for loss of hearing. The worker would be entitled to compensation commensurate with the degree of loss of hearing.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE
TO MAKE A CLAIM?
In order to make a claim it is necessary to establish that the hearing loss was substantially caused by the employment in that the worker was engaged in a “noisy work environment”.
WHAT ARE YOU
ABLE TO CLAIM?
An injured worker is entitled to claim permanent impairment compensation for their loss of hearing. There is also the ability to claim a hearing aid.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSULT A LAWYER ABOUT MAKING A CLAIM?
A hearing loss claim is required to be lodged as soon as possible after the worker ceases working in noisy employment. There is a time limit of 6 months applies from when the worker is last exposed to noisy employment and when they can lodge a workers compensation claim form.
