Workers’ compensation for hearing loss

Exposure to loud noises is one of the most common causes of hearing loss, and this can often occur in the workplace.

What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation benefits provide employees with necessary medical treatment for workplace related injuries or replace lost wages during your recovery period. Even if you do not miss time from work, your employer is required to cover the cost of your medical care if you are hurt on the job.

If your working conditions have resulted in hearing loss, workers’ compensation benefits can cover hearing aids or cochlear implants, along with any other medical expenses associated with treating your hearing loss.
